Back to school time is here! And with it comes a plethora of feelings and emotions for educators. The excitement of meeting a new class and getting everything ready to teach and guide those shining young lives is undeniable. And at the same time, the excitement is usually coupled with real fears - of having enough time and energy to teach everything required, of testing stress, of being judged by administration and parents, and even of having enough school supplies and money to buy them out of personal pockets.
