Seeking advice, or maybe just someone to listen. I'm really struggling with the approaching end of this school year. I don't have a perfect class, but I have a couple of kids who I love to death. I'm honestly not ready to let them go. I know it's the nature of the job - it is my ninth year - but I'm finding each ending harder than the last. I put so much of myself into the job, so much of my love into them. It's like waiting for a breakup that I don't want to happen. I know I'll love next year's group too, but the cycle is just killing me.

Do others feel this way? How do you deal with it?
