Stress related issues
I believe as an instructor, the day to day operations of a class, students, paperwork, etc is a hugh factor in the stress; as well as our personal lives on top of that. Sometime it will get to be to much and have to step back and evaluate the importance of the issues.
I try to keep in mind the amount of money that students are paying for each hour of instruction and am I delivering the best value?
Jeanie, Yes, operations can take a tremendous amount of time. Balancing it all is quite a challenge. It's important to take a step back every now and then, focusing on the big picture. Often times after doing so, we are more effective at approaching our work.
