Are You “Teacher Tired?” Decision Fatigue and Some Ways to Help
Sure, it’s not manual labor, but it’s taxing in other ways
Even if you’re not a teacher, you’ve probably experienced it sometimes. You get home after a long day at work, with a to-do list of chores and errands to do. You collapse onto the couch, maybe pull up a blanket and turn the TV on, and *poof*, all of a sudden it’s almost time for bed.
We call this “Teacher Tired” because in the profession we experience this feeling more days than not.
