The kind that seeps into every part of life. Through reflection on classroom realities and the pressures inside modern education systems, Daniel Curtis looks at why burnout is becoming increasingly common in teaching — and why it is so often misunderstood.Burnout is not a weakness. It is often what happens when people care deeply about their work while operating inside systems that leave little room to recover.This conversation explores:• Why teacher burnout is increasing• The emotional and cognitive impact of sustained pressure• How workload, behaviour complexity and expectations are changing classrooms• Why creativity and clear thinking are often the first things to disappear under pressure• Why supporting teachers matters for the wellbeing of students too🔗 Connect with Daniel CurtisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielcurtishqLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielcurtishqFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/danielcurtishq
