I am so sorry to hear of that but I am not surprised. One of the big reasons why I left was my constant fight with admin about disruptive abusive and downright violent students. Admin wouldn't do anything besides sending them to ISD (which was one big unregulated party) because they were so worried about these kids futures and the consequences of missing out on an education they clearly didn't give a shit about. But not even a thought was ever spared by admin for how having kids like these in an advanced class (which was not even strictly a requirement for graduation) was going to impact the students who were trying their best.

Fun fact is that in America, low pay leads to low respect. People here are so enamored with money that if you'd just bump teacher pay up you'd see a lot more respect for the profession. It sure would be nice if my master's degree led to making more money starting out than a trades job that can be done straight out of high school.
