Episode 31: "Did You Actually Rest This Summer?"
Teacher summer burnout is real — and in this season opener of Comprehend THIS!, Scott and cohost Pamela Parks get honest about why teachers can't seem to actually rest over the summer. If you've ever called a full planning day "taking it easy," this conversation about rest, guilt, and protecting your time off is exactly where you need to be.
Scott sits down with cohost Pamela Parks for the Season 4 opener, and the topic is one teachers are quietly terrible at: stopping. Pamela spent years as a professional translator before becoming a world language teacher, which means she's had two careers built around never being off the clock and a lot of practice pretending that's fine. Together they get into teacher summer burnout, the difference between actually resting and "resting," and what a real permission slip for the off-season looks like. No inspiration posters. Just two tired teachers being honest.
