re: Do you know any teachers that have experienced ‘burnout’?

A lot of teachers simply struggle with time management.

I will say a lot of that is curriculum, the Parish I work in no longer wants T/F or fill in the blank questions. They can have multiple choice but it has to be Part A, Part B. They also have to have a written response question or multiple short answer questions in order to get students to write more.
Most stuff is on the computer and I have to grade that way but I have to print and write out my comments that way in order to give feedback. It is a lot of unnecessary steps.
Normally I spend 30-45 minutes extra a week on lesson planning, and an hour grading, this year both of those numbers have increased a bit. Also, doesn't help the beginning of the year I do not have a planning time since it is filled with meetings 3 days a week.
