To all educators, returning to work tomorrow—
Remember that the work you do is more important than you can imagine—
It’s an imperfect system— flawed in many ways—
Many parents don’t know how to parent, and expect you to bear that burden—
Set boundaries—remember self-care, and community care— remember that the system was flawed before you began your career, and shall be so long after you retire—
If there is one child, in whose life you make a difference— rest assured that the future will be slightly more secured—
Lastly— if it is too much to bear, or your passions lie elsewhere— leave— I did. Go back to school if you must, take a leap of faith—if circumstances permit— and if they do not, begin with trying to change the circumstances—
Nevertheless, if you choose to stay— or feel that for the time being, you must— than please prioritize your well being— you can’t pour from an empty cup— get to the gym, or yoga, or therapy, or that book you’ve been meaning to read, or. that coffee or drink with a friend, or all of it—
Just remember that without you, there is no lesson—
Best wishes for a meaningful academic year—
Please remember that one present, caring adult in a child’s life can make all the difference in preventing so much of the negatives that our politicized-24-hour- news-cycle reports.

Sincerely,
Daniel S. Fayerberg, MSEd, LMHC

Understanding that secondary emotions can be helpful in protecting us from primary emotions we may not be ready to face, can go a long way in learning the skills to be with our feelings instead of rules by them.
