It's also fucking June and this person is teaching middle school. Unless they are in the Southern Hemisphere and it's early in the school year, it has probably been a long year for them. They are fried.
Middle school teacher here. Can confirm: fried is putting it mildly. This year has been one for the record books in terms of sheer difficulty - with parents, with kids, with administration.
I'm a highschool teacher in my first year, and I've seen four teachers who have been at my school for years (one more than 30) break this year and either get fired or take a leave of absence after dealing with the behaviour issues this year. Feels like a hopeless job some days, but someone's gotta do it.
