## Resource

Teachers are burning out in 2026 — and we need to stop apologizing for rest. In this episode of Conversations Unleashed, Michael Bonner breaks down teacher burnout, vicarious trauma, spring break recovery, shifting classroom expectations, and the growing reality of AI in education. With $6–12 billion cut from education funding last year, the conversation around replacing teachers with artificial intelligence is no longer theoretical — it’s strategic.

Topics Covered: • Teacher burnout in 2026 • Vicarious trauma in education • Why rest is not weakness • AI replacing teachers • Education funding cuts • Classroom accountability and celebration shifts • Systemic reform in schools Subscribe for weekly conversations on education leadership, AI, personal growth, and legacy-buildi
