“If I could wave a magic wand, I would give teachers the gift of time. Time to plan and collaborate with intention, time to reflect and grow professionally, and just as importantly, time to rest, recharge, and be present with the people they love. Too often, the demands of teaching stretch far beyond the school day, leaving little room for balance. I’d want every teacher to feel they could show up for their students without having to sacrifice their own well-being or the needs of their families. Because when teachers are supported both personally and professionally, everyone in the school community benefits.” – Brittany Hargrove
Like this a lot. I always feel busy because there’s always things to do and while I do try and stop occasionally, it’s difficult. Does this mean, I am not going things as well I could? Absolutely. Unfortunately, that feels like the job.
As well, balancing work, family and myself is a 3-body problem. (Does that work?!)
