During the academic year, the challenge of taking personal time is compounded by the strict structures of educational schedules. Many teachers find it difficult to attend to personal matters, whether it's handling a sick child or finding time for regular appointments, due to the demands of preparing for substitutes and navigating daily responsibilities at school. The inability to balance work and personal life effectively serves as a deterrent for potential educators, particularly for men who often feel the societal pressure to provide for their families.
