[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - First and foremost, it is a job so it won’t ever be perfect. That’s why they pay you. You need to think of the greater good and why you are there. Why did you become a teacher? If you can’t answer that, then time to get a different career. Second, the eight or so hours you spend at your job - try to chunk it into the good and bad parts of your job. Surely there are some good parts, like lunch, snow days, PD, etc? [b]Take sick days for mental health![/b] Take them once a month if necessary! Third, avoid the lunchroom and toxic gossips. Nothing brought me down more than negative people. They can make your experience even worse. Just focus on the students and doing the best job possible. Fourth, make the most out of your off time. Don’t make your job the center of your world or you will be perpetually depressed. Don’t make it your god. You will never be satisfied. And finally, stay healthy. Work on eating right and exercise. Your physical health is very much related to your mental health. [/quote]

That's impossible because I work 10 months a year and am only allowed 3 sick occurrences. After 5 weeks of PARCC testing this year, I took 2 mental health days. Lots of other teachers did too and then we got yelled at when we returned because there were too many people out those days. [/quote]
