While many parts of the country are already on summer vacation, there are still lots of us who have to teach up until the very end of June. And if you thought teaching right before Memorial Day was rough, I’ll let you in on a little secret: Almost no one wants to be in a school in June. Not the teachers, not the kids. We’re all done. Below, TikTok teachers sum up what it’s like to teach in June.
You need all of your strength …
