every day is something new and exhausting. I love teaching and I love my kids dearly, but holy shit. Today was a 13 hour workday. Admin is down my throat, I got yelled at by a parent and overheard another make a snide comment about me, I’m behind on grading, and I have to plan lessons for the week after the upcoming winter break. I don’t know how to keep going; I’m crawling towards winter break. Then I am so mentally, emotionally, and physically drained that I feel like I can’t I can’t be there for the students who need me.
In short, teachers are tired. And I don’t know how to keep going like this. Please tell me I’m not alone in this feeling.
