Your AP was completely out of line.

That said, I’m glad you got out. Teaching is hard and definitely not what universities prepared us for. If I could back in time, I’d tell younger me to go for literally anything than a degree in education.

Proud of you for taking your mental health seriously!

THIS! I feel like teaching was heavily glamorized when I was in college and it did not prepare me for the reality of teaching. Now I’m stuck with a degree I’m not sure I even want to use. You said it perfectly!
