No more teachers

In the L.A. Times there was an article called “Teachers dropping out too,” in which it showed that teachers are quitting their jobs “in alarming numbers — 22% in four years or fewer” because of working conditions.
“Classroom interruptions, student discipline, increasing demands, insufficient supplies, overcrowding, unnecessary meetings, lack of support — all play a role in burning out teachers,” said the article in the Times.
Liberal Arts major, Enedina Medina, 24, agrees.
Even as a student wanting to be a teacher, the expectations to know everything are high, and she is constantly left to feel like she will never be prepared to be a teacher.
“My professors want me to know everything about all the materials," said Medina. "For example, when they ask me a math question and I don’t know it, they’ll say ‘What! You don’t know it and you’re going to be a teacher?’”

Medina said that she has felt discouraged from pursing teaching and all she wants now is to graduate.

With potential teachers already feeling like they don’t deserve to teach, there’s less people who will replace not only the teachers who are retiring, but those who are droping out.
