The grading at midnight. The supplies from your own wallet. The emotional labor nobody counts. You pour everything into the job and the world acts like teaching is a calling, not work.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Setting boundaries with a system that treats your passion as an unlimited resource — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to articulate the invisible labor you perform so administrators can see it not just today, but every time this situation returns.
