Do students still visit their teachers to wish them a Happy New Year?

The third day of Tet (Lunar New Year) is a time to honor teachers – a long-standing tradition of respecting and valuing education.

Although life has changed a lot these days, the tradition of honoring teachers on the third day of Tet (Lunar New Year) is still preserved and has become a part of the national culture.

For parents, Tet is an opportunity to teach students about the beauty and values ​​of traditional customs such as: bidding farewell to the Kitchen God (on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month), year-end ceremonies, visiting ancestral graves, arranging the five-fruit tray, making banh tet and banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes), erecting the Tet pole, etc.

Parents can also encourage their children to visit their teachers on the third day of the Lunar New Year. This contributes to preserving Vietnamese cultural identity during the Tet holiday.

Help students understand traditions.

As a civics teacher, I've always been concerned about how to help students understand moral principles through concrete actions, rather than just teaching abstract theories.

When teaching the lesson "Inheriting and promoting the fine traditions of the nation," I had the students role-play with the scenario of Pham Su Manh and a friend visiting the home of their teacher, Chu Van An, to celebrate his birthday.

Upon reaching the middle of the teacher's courtyard, Pham Su Manh and his friend respectfully greeted: "Greetings, teacher! We have come to serve you!" The message was simple, but the image of the teacher and students from the olden days helped the students understand the beauty of Vietnamese culture.

On the morning of January 31st, during the second period of the civics class before the Lunar New Year holiday, I spent the last five minutes wishing my students a happy new year: "I wish you all a more successful year of the Dragon, that you all pass the entrance exam to grade 10, and I send my best wishes to your families for good health, peace, and happiness."

The students' applause filled my heart with a sense of elation and joy as I left the classroom and headed home. It was even more joyful when many students asked where I lived so they could visit during Tet. Student Lai Truc Dao (class president of 9/3) even shouted, "I'll come to your house on the 3rd day of Tet, and you'll give me a lucky money gift!"

Thus, students of all eras, even when they sometimes disappoint their teachers, always remember them from the bottom of their hearts, especially during holidays and festivals. This demonstrates that the tradition of remembering and showing gratitude to teachers is deeply ingrained and passed down through the years.
