Schools outside of this state are vastly ahead in educating children. Graduates from other states are way ahead in preparation for college in comparison to SC grads. As long as you hire you own good ol boys and girls who have NO real experience as educators and are flashy but no substance, nothing will improve. Take a look a BCSD's "leader" - was she not a drama teacher? Had a career in fashion or something? She didn't stay in the teaching ranks long, just politicked her way to the top. Her speeches are canned packages bought from business boutiques that do that kind of stuff. I hear the teachers throughout the district are through with her! Get her done and out!
