Hello,

I am hoping that I can get some honest responses to this post. I am from Wisconsin, licensed 1st-8th grade regular ed and cross cat special ed 6yrs- 21yrs with an emphasis in EBD. My wife and I are looking to make a move (no kids involved) and South Carolina is one of the top 3 on our list of states to move to. I am sure that you have heard about the turmoil that was set in motion by our governor. From reading about many other states, they are in a similar or worse situation.

In your honest opinion, would you share your experiences about teaching in South Carolina? Good, bad, etc. Good districts. Not so good districts. Geographically nice areas. Areas that are not so nice. Any other pertinent information that you believe important.

Our options are open and we are open minded. We would appreciate any and all input that you would care to share with us.

Thank you in advance,

Chuck

One thing that was hard to get used to is the lack of public transportation. Where it exists at al...See More
