  Case: Stating the Inevitable
When I was interning, I ran across someone who had already graduated but was now applying for jobs. She went on an interview where the principal asked her, "Do teachers get burnt out?" I know that teaching can be stressful sometimes and burn out can happen and that you should be honest in interview. What is a good way to respond?

I think this could also be an interesting question that you could pose to the principal. Does the principal feel as though teachers can get burnt out? What does the principal focus on to make sure this feeling doesn't happen with their faculty. I have always found that asking meaningful questions to the principal in the interview is impressive and they appreciate the challenge. It shows you're really invested in the school and interested in hearing what they have to say.
