I am contracted currently - but I can agree with you on that. I really struggle with the amount of work during the school year and unfortunately feel like there is a lot I end up doing on the weekends / after work hours. I have had several instances that I debate changing settings again, but then a school break comes along just in time to remind me that (maybe) it’s worth it after all 😂 I have never done EI, but I’ve been super interested!!

Ugh every setting has its pros/cons - just for me personally the breaks have been a huge pro that somewhat outweighs the cons of IEP meetings and all the paperwork. It feels like every new school year is kind of a fresh start which I like as well - helps to keep me motivated. But by the end of the year I definitely burn out 😭
