How do you enjoy your Friday nights?? I can't even stay awake for a movie on Friday nights. I'm too exhausted after working all week. The movie watches me instead!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

I feel you. The same happens with me. Friends sometimes invite me to go out, and I literally have no energy, even only after the first week

I don’t think anyone outside of teaching understands how tiring the constant multitasking, decision making, and load of responsibility is for us. The work never seems to end when school is in session. Yes, people in other jobs also work hard, but those of us in helping professions who see many more people per day are especially vulnerable to burnout. We teachers work with many people, kids and adults, who really don’t want to be at school, and that adds a whole other emotional layer to the exhaustion. Do something nice for yourselves this weekend; I will do the same. You’re not going to get a special mental health day or a gift card from your employer like the people who work in tech companies get.

Fridays nights are family time. My husband or I pick up dinner, fix a drink, turn on the TV, and talk about our week. Sometimes our week has been so hellacious that we eat and fall asleep on the couch or the floor 🤣. We’re both educators and we both have side hustles, so Friday nights are usually the only night that we can squeeze in for each other.

I’m the “sleep sounds great” teacher. We’ll just now I was picking up the bowl next to me on the couch and starting to stand up. The bowl fell from my hands and broke. It was a cereal bowl which said “go get ‘em” Guess I am tired on Friday.

Any suggestions on timing to tell my boss I’m leaving teaching for another job? I make 26k a year and have been working multiple jobs to pay bills. I’m leaving primarily because I get paid so little. New job pays double for better and less stress. I feel bad not telling parents who have signed up to come specifically for me. But they have zero idea how poorly I’m paid.

It's always tough, but this year it has felt impossible to stay on top of grading. Sure, there are online quizzes the computer can grade for you, but that data is so limited. What about the steps they took to get that answer on the math problem? I need to see it to know what they missed... Between submission of blurry photos and going through the process of uploading, downloading, and squinting to see their work, it takes me 20x longer to grade work for my digital kids. #thestruggle
