Best Discounts for World Teachers' Day and Year-Round
World Teachers' Day is Oct. 5. The day was founded in 1994 to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of an international document that set standards for the working conditions of teachers around the world.
Businesses, too, honor teachers in their own way year-round by offering educator discounts on everything from software to travel and clothing.
In celebration of World Teachers' Day (and all that educators do), here are some of the major brands and stores offering discounts for teachers:
-- Adobe
-- Banana Republic
-- Barnes & Noble
-- Bonobos
-- Caesars Entertainment
-- Contiki
-- Half Price Books

-- Joann
-- Lenovo
-- Microsoft
-- Michaels

These discounts are available not just on World Teachers' Day, but all year-round.
