I taught terribly today. Am so tired

[gognok]

Just that really but am sure the kids sense I'm shattered which makes them play up even more. Even my usually a joy to teach year 10 class were horrible today. How will we get through the next 3 weeks? It doesn't help that slt are piling on the demands (Ofsted on the horizon and all that)

Same here! I’m overwhelmed with everything I should be doing. I teach and have a whole school role... each could be a full time job but they’re not and I’m not doing either job as well as I’d like.

I’m done, and have called in sick for tomorrow.

I think my lessons are still okay, but I can tell I'm exhausted because my planning is taking so long! My head just isn't in it. But it's a vicious circle because the longer I take to plan, the more tired I am...

Roll on Christmas.

Mumto hope you feel better soon. Yes bring on Christmas as soon as!

Students are also really tired. Cut yourself and them some slack. Not much longer xx

If I have a bad day and am thinking, "shit, poor kids," I try to remember that the alternative, (no teacher at all, or being farmed out or a cover teacher) would have been worse for everyone.
Tomorrow is another day.
