More from school

Exhausted and burnt out. Reading, reading, reading. Naively thought I could be an uninvolved teaching assistant who "leaves work at the door." However, I find myself thinking about the students I work with and try to help, but instead find myself doing mundane things. Speaking with disgruntled teachers and feeling despondent. Wondering about this balance of family, work, school and myself (is working on yourself even allowed if you are wife/mother/daughter/teacher/student?)
