I have been leaving school after the buses leave for about the last 3 months. It really has been rejuvenating! But, I also bring home a load of work to do at home. I am married with a 3 year old son, with another baby on the way (plus I am taking 3 graduate courses). My students are a high priority, but my son (and husband) is the highest priority! My son goes to bed at 8:00, so I have only a few hours to spend with him. For me, I take home the stuff I can do at home - after my son is in bed. Then I go in early in the morning to do stuff at school that I can't do at home -- change bulletin boards, clean up, prepare projects, etc. I've only gotten better at this scheduling in the last 3 months or so. Just remember, we don't know what our colleagues go home to...what their "home" life is always like. I am certainly not giving the true slackers any excuses. Even with my busy schedule, I feel like I am one of the more dedicated teachers on my team. I am proud that I finally gave myself "permission" to leave at a decent time. I know I stayed late for the past 7 years, so I am glad I finally changed my ways.
