I'm in GA and have been reading all the posts on their
teachers' net and there is a vast difference from that site
to this one. I'm just trying to figure out if SC is in
slightly better shape than GA as far as the teaching front
goes, and... trying to figure out whether to add SC
certification to my existing GA one. To better compare and
set the stage, teachers in GA have already taken several
furlough days and many more may be set after Christmas -
some teachers are saying their districts may make them take
as many as 5, but most districts' admin. hasn't taken any
furlough days. In fact, there are some GA districts who
have coughed up money to add to the admin supplements.
Also, most districts in GA are claiming not to have enough
money to get subs when teachers are absent. Therefore,
teachers (even in elem) have to cover an absent teacher's
class during their planning period, and they keep swapping
out different teachers to cover dependent upon their
planning period. There are also many other various things,
but not enough time to get into. Are the SC teachers in the
same shape and just not venting about it on here? The GA
site is full of teachers who are fed up - and rightly so -
mostly because there is no union to stand up for us.
