Teacher burnout doesn’t usually happen because of one bad day.
It happens slowly… through ordinary days that repeat over and over again.
In this episode, I share what a typical day in the life of a teacher really looks like — from constant interruptions and mounting responsibilities to initiative overload, unpaid hours, and the emotional toll of being “on” all day.
These pressures don’t happen in isolation. They build over time, creating fatigue, frustration, and ultimately, burnout.
And when experienced teachers leave, students feel the loss the most.
This episode takes an honest look at why burnout happens, why it matters, and what might help.
Because understanding how the system works is the first step toward improving it.
