Society often expects her to extend her role beyond the blackboard, anticipating she will naturally possess an infinite reserve of patience, empathy, and emotional labor.

If she is strict, she risks being labeled "cold" or "unlikable"; if she is too gentle, she risks being perceived as weak or losing control.

She must command respect not through intimidation, but through presence.
