It would seem that the Pope’s been giving out advice regarding overwork which teachers could bear in mind at the start of this academic year. Quoting St. Bernard, he advised to ‘watch out for the dangers of an excessive activity, whatever… the job that you hold, because many jobs often lead to the ‘hardening of the heart’, as well as ’suffering of the spirit, loss of intelligence.’ I, for one, am going to make sure my work-life balance is reasonably sensible this year!

Boy I can relate to that! Must try harder myself too!
Typical bloody teacher! You’re in the 5th week of a 6-week holiday and you’re still complaining about overwork! Welcome to Life(TM). You’re hardly slaving down the diamond mine now are you?
Er… thanks for that…
