A testament to their imagination and the perpetual optimism of teachers caught in the labyrinth of classroom diplomacy.

intent matters here, too.. because one person's Inbox 0 helps them to control information flow & to stay on top of things (i.e. they have clarity on priorities, etc), but for another person, they can be a slave to the idea of Inbox 0 (a simple logic of "if email, I need to read it", but forgetting that it's just a tool and not a rule of the universe or anything).

responsibility

the devils dictionary
A detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one's neighbor. In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star.
Alas, things ain't what we should see
If Eve had let that apple be;
And many a feller which had ought
To set with monarchses of thought,
Or play some rosy little game
With battle-chaps on fields of fame,
Is downed by his unlucky star,
And hollers: "Peanuts! — here you are!"
—"The Sturdy Beggar"
