It often results in one of two responses: withdrawal and apathy or mechanically working to the point of exhaustion. Burnout affects not only the health and happiness of the teacher, but also the lives of those with whom they interact. The most common causes of burnout are unsupportive working conditions and stressful interaction with parents and/or students.
