At the end of the year, some colleagues who are teachers, who have experienced many periods of studying and teaching, chat with each other about the traditional Vietnamese New Year.
"Reviewing the past, learning the present", the topic the teacher mentioned was the difference between Tet in the past and Tet today in school.
The first difference is the classroom and school space every spring. With the majority of school facilities still rudimentary and old, every time Tet comes, the space in the school in the past was not taken care of much. Nowadays, about one or two weeks before the students go on Tet holiday, most schools from kindergarten to high school pay attention to decorating the landscape very beautifully, with impressive Tet space miniatures, bringing a bustling Tet atmosphere.

The second point is that the spring activities in schools are also very different. In the past, when our generation was in high school, there were not many activities to welcome the New Year. The school mainly organized overnight camping in the school yard, combined with art and sports competitions, wall newspaper making competitions... Nowadays, schools organize more activities, with diverse forms such as Tet camping, spring food fairs, music stages and competitions such as wrapping and cooking banh chung, displaying fruit trays, making greeting cards...

The way students wished their teachers a happy new year in the past was also different from today. "Tet for teachers" in the past meant essential items for teachers such as a kilo of white sugar, a few cartons of milk, a bottle of shampoo... Nowadays it is very practical with supermarket vouchers, bank transfers...
In the past, Tet only had direct greetings from students, or a few handwritten letters from former students to teachers, but sometimes they were only received many days after Tet! Nowadays, Tet greetings are images available from applications, sent directly via mobile phones.

Teachers' Day today is less difficult than before, so social networks have recently seen fewer humorous images and poems "complaining" about the poverty of teachers celebrating Tet. There are fewer scenes of teachers having to celebrate Tet far from home, having to stay in the school's dormitory because of the difficulty and expense of transportation.
