Following on from yesterday, there is an impossible "expectation" made of teachers to stretch themselves thin in order to complete their job to a high standard. But this in some cases has a detrimental effect on teacher's mental, emotional and physical health.
Everyone needs to develop a healthy habit of decompressing after the school day. The "work-life balance" as we call it, but how? In a job that requires you to do so much outside of school?
I've been there and done both sides- the sugary side to keep the energy up and then the days of journaling and listening to music - they all had their time in the spotlight, and had their benefits.
What does decompressing look like for you this year? Is it possible?
