Now there are fewer and fewer young professionals who want to teach in schools, and the state is trying to compensate for this in some way. And therefore, it is now possible to teach in Arizona without higher education. I think this is right, well, because there is no other alternative, there are fewer and fewer teachers now... Although I have several friends enrolled in a pedagogical university, I decided to devote myself to cinematography and entered the Prague Film School.

Fewer peple want to teach because more and more teachers have to pay out of pocket for supplies and their salaries which have been kept low are not keeping up with inflation. If teachers were compensated as if they were valued, then people would consider teaching as a viable career choice.
That’s how hard up they are for teachers. Other jobs that are having a difficult time finding candidates, such as police and ambulance will start lowering their requirements too. Of course when I was in my 20’s or even a little before, I worked on my community volunteer ambulance with nothing more than a few hours of beginner first aid training. And I was often the only person in the back with the patient! Same with the volunteer fire company, but even less training.
