View submission: What drives you to stay teaching?

the secret is to stop doing extra things. trim away until you are not taking any work home. learn to say NO to admin/ out class room requests.

I use to grade each paper my students would turn in, be stuck at home the entire weekend. But I quickly learn that test can be used to accurately measure student retention. So I base a lot of my grades based on students test scores. saves so much time and stress.

I second this! I went from burnout to being content by getting rid of any and all extras.
