Generally frowned upon. Because during term time they have to find a cover teacher, if not your 4-5 class will have no teachers. Your colleagues won't like it too.

For ordinary teachers, they have a duty to their students. So only compassionate leave, ns leave, maternity leave, childcare leave take precedence.

That being said, if you are representing Singapore at Olympics, not only you can take leave, even during term time, there will be reduced class load and your principal may grant you permission to leave early for training.

If you win, you may quit ur job.
