Anyone left HR to become a teacher [N/A]

Anyone here who left an HR career to teach? I am 10 years into an HR career and I’m having trouble envisioning doing this for one more year, let alone the rest of my career. The endless politics, difficult employees, lack of respect for the function, feeling of not really having a positive impact, and unrealistic expectations from leaders are too much for me to take anymore. I am strongly considering going back to school and getting a teaching credential to teach history. However, I am worried that after a I complete all the training and start a new role I’ll find that…it’s just another job with many of the same pain points. Anyone have experience with a transition like this, and what was it like for you?
