Many educators are. Then winter break, then the dreaded drag to Spring Break, that is when many are just counting down the end at that point. I love teaching, and that teacher fatigue hits like a ton of bricks at times.
Teaching is a giving to others type of profession. Holidays are a chance to give back to yourself. You deserve all the time to recharge because you can't pour from an empty cup 🙂
5.5 years to go, then it will be Perma-Thanksgiving!
I’ll be giving thanks every day that I don’t teach anymore. (Ref. I teach middle school math.) 🤪 Don’t get me wrong, I love teaching but as we move forward it is more and more like trying to herd feral cats than teaching. Come on Turkey break!
When I was doing my student teaching lo those many years ago, my cooperating teacher told me that any teacher who says they don't like holidays and summers off is either lying or a fool.
I worked in education UK for 30 plus years. Took me a while to work out that the 'holidays' were actually time to repair & recalibrate personal & mental well being.I am meeting more teachers who think on balance the love of teaching & well being are incompatible.
I teach college level and we've not had a single day off since the beginning of the semester. We get next week off for Fall break, then have 1 week off finals before being done on Dec 9th. It's asinine! I'm so ready for a break.
I taught preschool with a wonderful group of kids. Went home every night with a headache. Not from them. From the responsibility. Loving teaching and needing a break are on the same continuum.

lol man one of the other students in my teaching class said they were supposed to teach yesterday but the kids had the teacher in tears asking her are you sure you want to do this.

I am so ready for my first retired Thanksgiving.
As much as I love teaching, I am so ready to take a break
Listen and Learn, Teach and Listen.
