Another Delhi teacher, Kalpana Desai, said her best gift was from a bilingual student: "She wrote me a Teachers’ day Greeting card in the English which she learned in my class thanking me for helping her learn English. I was so honored and proud!"
"Heartfelt greeting cards mean the most," said Banglore teacher Poonam Jha, "I always keep them in my teaching album," she said. "It's important for parents and students to let us know how much they appreciate all we have done. We work hard at what is often a thankless job."
