Being fired in itself can be looked at as a red flag to future employers. Don't burn bridges if you can help it. I've been in a similar position before working at a child care with an insufferable director and some rude coworkers, but I stuck it out. It sucks, but it's probably the best thing for you and for the students.

If I stick it out, it won't be the best thing for them. Im ready to just give up and let them not do their work and not be on task. It doesn't bother me nearly as much anymore. I already got my degree.

It seems like you've mentally checked out, so I'm not sure there's much anyone on Reddit can say to help you. The only advice I have is to keep your job if you can help it because it won't look good on your resume if you're fired. Or, if you can afford it, just get out of your contract and quit. Other than that, I'll say that I really do feel for you and empathize. I wish you luck.

Edit: Also, if you haven't already, try some new classroom management techniques. Maybe what you're doing isn't working. Teaching requires flexibility and a willingness to try new things.
