Walk a mile in their shoes

Over and over, we’ve heard the students’ plight:not enough classes, not enough money. With the recent budget cuts and class reductions, these are valid concerns for students to have. However, I think teachers have more to worry about than we students do, especially since their livelihoods revolve around those very classes which are being cut.

The Los Rios Community College District has had to make more class reductions this semester, and according to LRCCD Chancellor Brice Harris, more courses will be cut in the future. City College English Department Chair Jeff Knorr said that so far, his department has only had to cut unstaffed.classes.

Adjunct instructors, instructors who are not employed full time, are affected the most, according to Knorr, especially non-preferenced (new) adjuncts. Adjunct instructors in the LRCCD can only teach 2-3 classes each semester.

“There may have been a handful of people who didn’t get as many classes as they wanted—you know, maybe they didn’t get three but they got two,” Knorr said.

It seems to me that this department is at least doing its best to keep teachers, but even so, if I were a teacher, I’d be worried. Cutting classes, even unstaffed ones, ultimately means that somebody who would have taught a class doesn’t get to.

As a student, I wasn’t expecting to be making money right now. Sure, I thought I’d have a small minimum wage job, but for the most part, I was planning on spending money. Teachers, on the other hand, depend on making a steady income.

I have access to financial aid, student loans and counselors.

Maybe they aren’t as much as I’d like, but they’re something. Teachers don’t have these options available to them.
Adjunct political science instructor Syreeta Harada says students have kept her motivated.

“Their support and encouraging words remind me that I cannot forget the rewards and benefits of teaching,” Harada said. “I cannot let this budget crisis affect my passion for students, teaching, and learning.”

Let’s keep up this support, and remember we aren’t the only ones dealing with financial problems. Let’s show our teachers how much we value their teaching by putting all our effort into their classes. We may not be able to protect them from this storm of budgetary cuts, but we can certainly cheer them on.
