Re: Curious about teaching in SC
Posted by darnell239 on 4/27/08

    You seem like you have a good deal going where you are at.
    Enjoy it while you can. If you come to SC you want have
    duty free lunches and planning periods can be a joke. You
    made a good point you are not under no child left behind and
    that is a relief. Stay where things are good.
