Is the status of teachers in Japan high?

There is no Teacher's Day in Japan, but this does not mean that Japan does not respect teachers. Actually, it's just the opposite.

Japanese primary and secondary school teachers are regarded as "sacred posts", and teachers are called "gentlemen", just like parliamentarians. In the eyes of the Japanese, teachers are professions that make great sacrifices for society, so they are extremely sacred, and teachers themselves are honest.

Usually Japanese teachers go out by bus and have teacher's cards on their chests. Passengers in the car will get up and give up their seats when they see it. In their view, teachers have made great sacrifices, and even the elderly will give up their seats for teachers. In ordinary shops and supermarkets, there are special discounts for teachers, and teachers can enjoy discounts every day with their certificates. So some people say that every day in Japan is Teacher's Day.

In addition, there has never been a phenomenon of giving gifts and money to teachers on Teacher's Day in China. As early as 195 1 years ago, the Japanese faculty team formulated the "Teacher's Moral Program" to guide the moral behavior of Japanese teachers. Japanese teachers themselves are very honest. Although Japanese people prefer to give gifts, it is very rare for teachers to give gifts and money.
