It's been days of pondering over recent successful lecture topics, feeling a sense of their sudden irrelevance. The usual enthusiasm for discussing them has waned, leaving a void in the usual teaching inspiration.
Despite the constant presence of students and parents, their essence seemingly unaltered, the urge to delve into the usual subjects has diminished. This shift is not attributed to burnout, as ample rest and minimal commitments are currently in place, ruling out the familiar signs of exhaustion.
This sentiment of detachment from once-vital topics is not unique, as shared by fellow educators experiencing a similar disconnect. The shift in perception raises the question of what new discussions and themes could invigorate teaching sessions, sparking fresh engagement and intellectual curiosity.
