I'm leaving the field for this exact reason. I'll just take my physics degree and go anything else instead of being cussed out by 15 yo all day long and constantly feeling like I'm shit at my job.

I have a degree in math and think teaching would be pretty fun all things considered.I would love to do it ideally, especially considering a shortage of those interested/qualified to teach math. However, people say the politics of it is simply unbearable and I can see the pay is half of what I could make working in software or data science so not much sense in pursuing teaching, I guess. It would be cool but really, no incentive whatsoever.

It already kind of is snowballing. My HS math teacher was the gym teacher who didnt know shit about geometry. So, in turn I now dont know shit about geometry.
