[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I’m fortunate to not be super burdened by paperwork and testing and to have competent, supportive admin. I’m not quitting this year. But I fantasize about it all the time. For me the difficult part is, frankly, being there so early and having to be so shiny and fresh with students all day long. Post-Covid it all just feels too peopley![/quote]

A teacher who cares about students/teaching knows the quality of relationships matter more than anything else.  It can be hard to keep up the mood/patience needed over a long career to be a good teacher.  Add in all the stressors lately and it's even harder.  I know my brother who is a high school teacher (at a Catholic school not in the area) is really struggling with this--he knows he needs to be fully present and fresh for his students, but his own well is running dry. It's worse because so many more of his students have mental health concerns too, so the relationships feel even more important.[/quote]
