My hair is standing up and my head is spinning. I show up, I work hard, I go home. My day starts again. The three things that I think burn teachers out the most is over scheduling in your family life, Too much paperwork, and expectations that the children can never meet and their teachers.

The other problem about expectations are those set by parents/counselors in IEP’s. Sometimes the children or a child disrupts your class making teaching feel like it’s impossible. Some days it takes all a teacher has just to get through the day with all-inclusive
