A TEACHER has revealed the hardest part of their job – and it’s not just tantruming toddlers.
TikTok user Taryn, who posts under @trulytaryn, uploaded a brave video revealing the truth about the worthwhile job.
In a clip that has racked up over 80,000 likes, she said: “I think one of the hardest parts about being a teacher is not having any energy at the end of the day to take care of yourself.
“I spend all my days being high energy trying to think of creative ways to engage my students and making sure I meet their diverse needs.
“I love my students and I love my job but it’s hard to go home feeling exhausted every day.
“My goal is to find the balance between being a good teacher and while also finding the time and energy to pour into myself because I know this lack of self care is not sustainable.”

Taryn added in the caption: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
Her video clearly struck a chord with other teachers, who were quick to take to the comments section.
One wrote: “This is 100% true.”
Another added: “Me every day after work while friends in corporate jobs are going out to happy hour or the gym. Like, how?”
