PE is now sweating it out because they don't know how many are actually staying put. Yet, kids need graduation requirements like elective classes. They are so full and are busting at the seams. I think if you get a teaching job in a smaller district, you should be OK. They are usually more stable then LA. LA built a whole bunch of school during the boom(money, not student) years. so now they are forced to put kids in there and have to draw from their existing schools. Plus, people are leaving LA so there's more thinning of the heard, so less teachers are needed. Classrooms are over crowding still, but no body seem to care. It use to ba a very stable job where one can't be let go for not doing their jobs. Now its a mess. If you can get in and hang on, then you should be OK.
Have you ee riding your bike? I started 2 weeks ago and I am hurting like hell.

Several programs have contacted me about getting my credentials. Seems a few may give me close to a free ride because of my prior post-grad and work experience. LAUSD high school English/Comp was what I was looking into. But I have to say smaller unincorporated cities seem much more attractive.
Yup, been on the bike - averaging a little more than 120 miles a week.
