As one teacher told us:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The students that I am caring for at the moment are a very hard cohort. My compassion fatigue is extreme and very real at the moment. I am exhausted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another teacher noted how they could gauge how the day would go, based on the mood of their students.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When they&#8217;re struggling, I find it hard to keep my own emotions in check.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One teacher explained the difficulty of managing student behavior while dealing with emotional exhaustion:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When behavior blows up, which it does several times a day, I just don&#8217;t know if I have the energy to respond compassionately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Its_frustrating\"><\/span>&#8216;It&#8217;s frustrating&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Teachers described a tension between providing emotional support to students and needing to teach the required curriculum and meet administrative responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s frustrating knowing what the students need emotionally, but the curriculum and administrative demands don&#8217;t leave room for that kind of support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This also reflects a broader issue for teachers\u2014who increasingly note how the pressure to constantly provide data about what they are doing limits their ability to focus on their students in general.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impossible_to_switch_off\"><\/span>Impossible to switch off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because of the intensity of the issues they encounter, teachers find it difficult to leave their work at work.
