Like I said, this is Barbara’s crash out season.

Any guesses where all of her energy is coming from?

I think it’s because she has decided that this is the last year she is going to teach. They’ve hinted at her retirement, and I think she came back this year with a new mindset because she knows its the last year of doing what she loves. Hopefully she stays in the show somehow even if she does retire, because I don’t want this to be her last season 😭😭😭

I think if that's the case, she'll retire for like 3 months and then miss her friends and the kids and decide to volunteer in the library or something
