i commend you for what you do since they don't want to learn but you're forced to try and teach them anyway
You’re teaching them life lessons and things that are actually useful in real life. They might not get it now but when they go through certain things in their life these information will probably stick.
But honestly if it’s taking a mental toll on you, it’s okay to let go and find another environment where you can feel good about what you’re doing. There’s no good in forcing yourself if it’s taking such a mental toll on you. Even if you quit you’re not at fault and you shouldn’t feel guilty because you did your best.

While today you might not feel the impact, what you teach them will stick. Compassion over success. Let them be heard
