0:23.4	with teacher burnout. But in today's episode, we're going to chat about how teacher burnout is
0:29.3	actually a sliding scale. We're going to share what that means and how that applies to your
0:35.0	teacher life. So we know this is going to be an episode you can
0:37.9	definitely relate to. Yeah, absolutely. But before we jump on in, let's hear a TSA from Lala.
0:44.5	She says, getting up early, which pushes my tasks and causes me to stay after school.
