It’s my first year of teaching in Sweden. I read everywhere about how every teacher in the country is stressed, and my coworkers are stressed too. I think I should feel more stressed than I do. Am I missing something huge? Like am I doing something horribly wrong? One coworker said she worked 24/7 her first year. I do not do that. Are teachers overachievers and that’s why they’re stressed? I can honestly say I don’t put to much effort in my work.

If you feel you are helping your students succeed in every way possible, then that is fine.  You would have to decide this for yourself.  Every teacher is different.
