work-life management

3 simple boundaries I maintain as a 2nd year elementary teacher

As a second-year elementary teacher, I share three boundaries that have been essential for me for a healthy work-life balance. These include not giving out personal contact information, restricting communication with parents past 6pm unless urgent, and avoiding staying over 30 minutes after school. Establishing these rules reduces stress and maintains professionalism, while emphasizing the importance of personal time.
