Author Notes
During the school year, teachers often come home physically and emotionally exhausted, and their own family members suffer because of this. As a middle school teacher, I had in a week 100 to 110 students to enter my classroom. At the end of most school days, I had little to offer my own child. My best energy was given to other people's children. Now, it is too late to compensate for that mistake in judgement.
