This is one of the main reasons why I left the field before even graduating (elementary education, left halfway through the degree). The amount of bullshit you have to deal with on top of the terrible compensation and how little people seem to value the profession despite its importance played a big part.
I'm not even 5 years out of school as a dev (and not even as a college level graduate), I already make way more than I would have been 15 years into my teaching career (max salary!), my schedule and quality of life are orders of magnitude better. I don't regret my decision other than the impact having a man teacher can have on some of those kids.
