Burnout in teaching isn’t just a personal struggle, it’s a systemic issue. Inspired by Adam Grant’s TED talk “Burnout is Everyone’s Problem,” this blog explores why so many teachers feel overwhelmed, undervalued, and trapped in roles that no longer align with their values or wellbeing.
Pushing through burnout isn’t strength—it’s self-destruction. Ignoring the signs leads to exhaustion, anxiety, and health issues. Real strength is recognising when to pause, set boundaries, and seek support.
