It happens every year in every school. The August energy fades, the novelty wears off, and somewhere around week five or six, the culture that felt alive starts running on backup power.
Edward calls it the relationship recession. And most educators experience it like something went wrong with them, their class, or their building — when really it's a predictable pattern that nobody thought to name.
In this episode, he breaks down what's actually happening underneath the surface when the recession hits, what it looks like in classrooms, in hallways, and in leadership, and three concrete things you can do right now to interrupt it before it takes over. Whether you're two weeks in or two months deep, this one is worth your next 15 minutes.
The recession is not the end of the year. It's the test of the year.
