RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that there should
be established a National Teacher Day to honor and celebrate teachers
in the United States.
Whereas the education of children in the United States is the foundation of the
future success of the United States;
Whereas education is critical for the creation of an innovative workforce and
for increasing the global competitiveness of the United States;
Whereas teachers help students cultivate the knowledge and principles necessary
to be successful in life;
Whereas teachers are held to high expectations, while often receiving little
compensation;
Whereas teachers help instill civic responsibility among students in the United
States;
Whereas teachers deserve annual national recognition for their knowledge,
selfless dedication to their profession, compassion, and sacrifice; and
Whereas the Tuesday of the first full week of May of each year is an appropriate
day for the establishment of National Teacher Day: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives
that--
(1) there should be established a National Teacher Day to
honor and celebrate teachers; and
(2) the President should issue a proclamation calling on
the people of the United States to observe such a day with
appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities.
