Thanks for the understanding and validation. I often feel like nobody understands how intense and stressful teaching can be unless they've done it at some point. I definitely know that other teachers are feeling the same way - it's an insane amount of pressure. I'm lucky that I have a principal who makes things a little easier for us by not being quite as nitpicky about evaluations. I'm hoping some counseling can help me get a little perspective.
