This is regarding a blog on 5 tips to avoid teacher burnout. One thing that really made sense to me was tip #2... GO HOME! I think we get so caught up working in our classrooms that we can forget that we do have to go home and have a life beyond the 4 walls of the classroom. My first 2 years teaching I saw my chalkboard 10 times more than my husband! I was in my classroom every weekend, early in the morning, and also late every evening. Finally I realized that I had to find balance in my life. Another take away is the tip that we need to know what we assessing. Having that in the forefront of youjr mind makes your time more effective in the classroom.

This is so important for people to do! If you don't have a personal life how will you gain experiences to use when teaching to your students. Kids need someone who has gone out and experienced life and teachers need to have a life in order to enjoy their jobs.
