Let’s face it: pandemic learning is stressful and exhausting.
There is truly no getting away from the fact that trying to engage in any activity that requires maximum brain activity (ahem: teaching and learning) is extra hard while we are trying to survive any kind of trauma. So it is imperative that we come up with ways to lighten our mental load in order to survive, much less thrive.
The news is reporting that teachers are not OK. Part of this comes from districts who were not willing to accept the reality that being consistently virtual is better in the long run than trying and failing at reopening for in-person instruction.
