2. All of them should be in all countries.
That way all of us would learn something new, probably every day by the look of it!

5. I like that Vietnam has a National Day for Teachers.
In the UK (and in the US) our teachers day involves either a pupil or local authority not finding a way to shaft them on that particular day.

11. Yeah that's a nice one.
Should be world wide. With a 'if you can read this, thank a teacher' kind of attitude.

14. Google is very clever.
But I'd limit my contact with Google products as much as possible. They collect the data and they own it. It's scary to think about what they know about you.
