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;
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 the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Teacher Day;
