Accept Teaching's Time Demand

  • Accept that teaching often requires long hours and blurred work-life boundaries.
  • Recognize the system asks teachers to perform many unpaid roles and it's not your personal failure.
ADVICE

  • Value the real impact you provide while acknowledging the personal cost.
