Sunday dread
Talking to fellow teachers about the Sunday dread last week a bunch of us shared how anxious we get on Sunday knowing that work is on Monday. Teacher burnout began within the first month of school due to weekly increasing demands in an environment where students are less and less prepared each week for school success and life. Social media and cell phone addiction instead of self interest in self improvement and learning for curiosity are a couple of many symptoms of the attention deficit prevalent in students at the high school level. The ones being punished are the young people who are part of a social experiment where they grew up having phones put in their hands from toddler hood trying to be like parents raised with cell phones and the false magic of technology to make people smarter. Rich men get richer at the expense of generations of lost intellect.
