Delve into the realities of teacher burnout and the paradox of exhaustion even on lighter teaching days in a high school environment.
As educators, we often find ourselves caught in a peculiar paradox. Today, I'm throwing it back to the last school year, a time that encapsulates this contradiction perfectly. It was one of those 'light' teaching days, where the academic load was relatively manageable, and yet, I found myself overwhelmed with exhaustion, teacher-tired as we often call it.
How does this happen? You might ask. The reality is that our responsibilities extend beyond classroom teaching. From grading papers, and planning lessons, to being there emotionally for our students, the to-do list is never-ending. These duties, although rewarding, can take a toll on our well-being.
As I reflect on this, I wonder how my fellow educators are coping. Are you experiencing this teacher-tired phenomenon too? Remember, it's okay to acknowledge this fatigue and seek support. After all, even superheroes need a rest day. Let's navigate this journey together.
