[82] You do not have to set yourself on fire to keep others warm

Do you ever feel guilty for taking time off as a teacher? Do you ever push yourself to breaking point and have the belief that a good teacher needs to burn their candle to light up others? If that sounds familiar to you, you are not alone; this type of thinking and attitude many teachers are fostering is not doing our profession any good in the long run. It’s time to put you first for once, you are more than worth it.
