The Great Teacher Migration
Every summer, NYC teachers embark on a mass exodus, disappearing into the wild blue yonder (or more likely, the Jersey Shore). It's like the wildebeest migration, but with fewer hooves and more sunscreen. While some might be jet-setting to exotic locales, most are probably just trying to recover from the year that was.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
Back to the Grindstone (or Classroom)
Now, when do these weary warriors return to the frontlines of education? Well, the official answer is usually a few days before students. It's like they get a sneak peek at the battlefield before the real battle begins. But let's be honest, some teachers probably start planning their comeback strategy the moment the last bell rings in June.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Important Note: The exact date varies from year to year, so don't quote me on this. Your best bet is to consult the Department of Education's website or your child's school calendar. Or, you could just wait for the inevitable influx of teacher-related social media posts complaining about how short the summer was.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.

Teacher Prep: More Than Just Grading Papers
Before those first-day jitters kick in, teachers have a lot on their plates. From creating elaborate classroom decor to stocking up on coffee, the prep work is no joke. Let's not forget the all-important task of updating their "About Me" page on their teacher website. It's basically like creating an online dating profile, but with fewer cat pictures and more educational philosophy.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
