teacher meltdown

The yearly (sometimes quarterly, monthly, weekly, or daily) occurrence of a teacher at his or her wits’ end resulting in ugly-crying, typically at one’s desk, in one’s car, or in the shower. This is sometimes followed up with an adult beverage and junk food.

I had my first teacher meltdown of the year after today’s testing session.
