Second year is tough. You miss the first year students, you don't quite love the second year students yet. It might get better by the end of the year. Make sure your expectations for yourself are reasonable. Make sure you're taking time for you. Don't be afraid to use sick days for mental health days. It gets better though, at least it did for me. Im in my 3rd year. Beginning of the year is tough for me because I don't yet feel the same love for my new kids as I did for the old.
It’s also just that time of year when the energy of the beginning of the year is wearing off
Hey there, first of all, I am so sorry that you are feeling burnt out. The first few years are tough and I even had a random tough year 4 after having an amazing year 7. Something I have found helpful is limiting my time spent on school outside of school. It feels difficult at first and I even felt guilty, but it made me a much better and much more productive teacher. Hope things get better soon!
Stick it out. You’re almost done w this year. It’s gotta get better tho next year will prob be tough as well.
