@balancedmindsedu: Teacher summer recovery is such a weird experience because half of us are: rotting peacefully by a pool, staring into space for hours,and sleeping like we’ve been medically sedated….and the other half are already: reorganizing classrooms, buying planners, taking courses, and convincing ourselves “this year will be different” 😂 Meanwhile the teachers with little kids are still hearing:‘MOMMMMMM’ every 14 seconds instead of ‘TEACHERRRRR.’ Honestly though, I think it says a lot that so many teachers need weeks just to feel human again after the school year ends. Teaching is mentally, emotionally, and physically consuming in ways people outside education often don’t fully understand. So whether your summer looks like: 🩵 survival 🩵 healing 🩵 professional development 🩵a summer job 🩵 parenting chaos 🩵 pool rot 🩵 or rebuilding your classroom systems… I hope you actually get moments to rest. (And yes… buying a course counts as productivity even if you don’t open it until July 😂) I’d love to know … what does your summer look like? #teacherlife #teacherhumor #summerbreak #teacherburnout #executivefunction
