Wayne is experiencing burnout as a result of his high motivation and efforts to make a difference in the lives of his students, coupled with the negative effects of budget cutbacks and long hours. Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion that can result from prolonged stress, particularly in high-pressure work environments such as teaching. Symptoms of burnout include feelings of cynicism, detachment, and reduced effectiveness in one's work. Wayne's disillusionment and absenteeism are consistent with these symptoms of burnout.
