@edutopia A3. Take deep breaths, remember that it's okay to get overwhelmed from time to time, and always remember we all can only do the best we can. Mentally go back to the best times and focus on why I teach! #EdutopiaChat

@TalksWTeachers @ElaineMiles3 I do the same. The moment I get home family is my priority but still lingers in my mind causing some stress. Balancing it all is tough #EdutopiaChat

@edutopia oops forgot me A2

@edutopia with empathy because I have been there...but truth be told I often unintentionally end up commiserating with them which ultimately only adds fuel to the fire but so often get worked up over the same things #EdutopiaChat

@ssseason7 Yes yes and yes!! this is my main reason for sometimes feeling as though burning out is approaching! #EdutopiaChat

A1: Does anyone think that the constant connectivity of teachers in 2018 is pushing burnout? Parent emails at midnight? Late night messages? Push notifications? #EdutopiaChat

@edutopia A1:I have seen most of my mentors and colleagues who taught with me when I began burnout and retire early. 12 years in I am understanding why #EdutopiaChat

Q1. How have you seen burnout affect teachers -- yourself and others you know? #EdutopiaChat
