Overcoming Teacher Burnout: Finding Joy in and out of the Classroom

[@djthereplay]

Diane, Back when I was a young autistic school student when I got overwhelmed, something got dropped. There was always a teacher or co teacher or some form of support there in the classrooms I have been through. I said that to say this. It's a whole new level of overload having to do it between 2 classrooms in 2 different schools everyday. To the teacher, Beth in Alberta dealing with that, I'm sorry. It is time for her to "take out the trash" and one of those schools has to be the trash. I'm sorry but I hear you tell that and it is blowing up My Autistic Mind. God Bless you and all of you who are going through this and continuing to handle it like a champ. - Dwight

Hello I've been working as a full-time nursery teacher for 12 years in UK. While there are moments I truly love about my job, particularly the children and their positive reactions to me, the increasing workload and expectations are becoming overwhelming. The excessive paperwork is a major source of stress for me and my colleagues. Many talented nursery teachers are leaving their positions due to the unbearable administrative burden. Additionally, the lack of support for children with additional needs is deeply concerning. It feels like their needs are being neglected due to constant budgetary constraints. ❤❤❤

The same thing is happening here. It seems that because the kids are younger, they give less to the programs instead of more...which is what is needed. The staffs are shrinking, the workload is growing. It is really hard to stay positive when you feel overwhelmed and under-appreciated. Thanks for your comment
