Have you ever had a day where you honestly just didn’t want to teach? You’re exhausted, energy is low, and the thought of going to school for 8 hours fills you with dread? And you feel like you can’t talk about it because you’re a teacher and are always expected to be ON? 

 

In this episode I talk about the unrealistic expectations of teachers compared to other jobs and share 3 activities that can help on those mornings where you just simply are not up for teaching, but you have to.
