Unfortunately, unemployment insurance does not recognize quiting work in order to accomodate other needs--whether it is school, taking care of a child or elderly relative, or just achieving a sane work-life balance--as "valid" grounds for quitting. That is, if you quit for any of those reasons, it is the same as quitting because you just don't feel like working, or had a bad day at work; it makes you ineligible for UI.
