It kinda funny you should mention that, as I'm also an old school teacher, and if there ever would be tensions flare up, it was always in the end of February, early March! Teachers who would normally be great teams, parents who usually were supportive, even great administrators would be extra demanding at this time of year. Little thing would get said.... There is tons of stress, and so many people are either sick, or fighting off illnesses, and stresses. I do hope we can all be forgiving, and just recognize that this is the time of year that it very hard for everyone. Love and hugs,

We in the upper part of the USA tend to have more Seasonal Affective Disorder (like depression) due to winter and sunless days but this disorder usually goes away by use of a sun lamp or return of the sun. Vitamin D3 is also a help.

I hope all smooths over and heals with time. As a parent and a business owner I see the same things you and others on this post have stated about this time of year.
February is a hard month for me as well. I lost my dad and a sister in the month of Febraury, this week 14 years or 3 years ago, and it still catches me off guard when the dates come up.
Thankfully the days are getting longer and Spring is just around the corner!!

Well, let's look it at the bright side :
February is almost over :-)
Spring is almost here ! and sunshine is waiting for us ! (and then we can sew long times 'cos it does not get dark early - Lol)

So very ready for SPRINGTIME, SUNSHINE, and SMILES on ALL the CUTIES faces! God is good; and we're TOO blessed to be stressed! A smile has a way of re-adjusting the brain chemistry, so SMILE!!!
Hugs,
