Two short fantasy stories about teaching and burnout. "This Mentor Lives" by J.R. Dawson & John Wiswell, published July 2024 in Haven Speculative: "We're not sure how your lungs are still working. You can't run around in this state. You're not 900 anymore." (Wiswell previously.) "By Salt, By Sea, By Light of Stars" by Premee Mohamed, published June 2024 in Strange Horizons: "She didn’t want another apprentice. She wanted peace and quiet." (Mohamed previously.)

If we're talking about teacher stories rough on the feels, try one of my favorites, "Rickey," by Marguerite Sheffer.
