Quiet quitting (not a very accurate name for what it actually is) has been prominent lately.

Business Insider carried this article on 23 Aug 2022 . We are not sure of paywall or copyright so here is the gist of what Jacob Zinkula says is his piece.

Teacher Maggie Perkins decided that her pay wasn’t reflecting the effort she was putting into her job.

She was passionate about her job, but that didn’t top burn-out.

In 2018 she started to apply a plan to cut back on what she did. The plan is important, she says, because you don’t want to be caught out.

Scaling back slowly is important. She suggests that if you are the type of teacher that stays late and takes a load of work home, it will be obvious if you suddenly stop doing it.

Maggie looked into automating some of her grading and generally reviewed her assessment strategies.
