Does anyone know the correct Chinese for Teacher's day. I'm assuming it isn't 老师天 ;-)

Hi. I think that 教师节 (jiao4shi1 jie2) would be the familiar term for most Chinese speakers. 

Btw, the word 老师 (lao3shi1) can be used as a form of address, but the word 教师 (jiao4shi1) cannot, it is simply a specific label for a particular profession ie teaching. HTH.
