The crisis in the family structure and its impact on the mental health of basic education teachers

An analysis of the contemporary challenges of the teaching profession

Abstract

This article analyzes the correlation between the weakening of family structure in children's ethical development and the growing emotional exhaustion of basic education teachers. Through a literature review and analysis of recent statistical data, it demonstrates how the lack of boundaries and values in the family environment has transferred responsibilities to the school that exceed its primary function, resulting in professional overload and deterioration of teachers' mental health. It proposes a critical reflection on the need to rebalance the responsibilities between family and school to preserve the sustainability of the teaching profession.
