I totally agree.
I think my wife mentioned before, “you can only care so deeply if that child is your child.”
And having experienced fatherhood, I’m thinking: I cannot care so recklessly even for my children because they are ultimately their own individuals.

I left school early today and ate lunch with a friend. Chillaxing in front of Netflix now with a can of beer in tow. Will mark some assignments after my afternoon nap haha

One thing that sucks about teaching is that you kinda have to distance yourself emotionally from it.

If I care too much, I will definitely get burned out.  To be honest, the students (on average), have not shown that they are deserving of that much emotional effort.
