Had a moment of pure panic at my desk today. Suddenly couldn't remember why any of this matters. Is that the first sign of burnout, or an existential crisis?

Maybe a little bit of both 🙁 I'm sorry! What always helps me is taking a quick walk or getting a change of scenery. Also deep breaths but don't let the students see. Haha good luck

Agree with ESST1- a brisk walk outside or a walk throughout the school at lunch might help. We have maybe 5 or 6 teachers who walk the school at lunch. Summer is coming just in time for you to relax and regroup for next year.

Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
