Comments
Not only is SC one of the worst states in rank as far as education, but it is also one of the most backward states in how it hires teachers from business and industry. The Department of Education is filled with antiquated rules, regulations and policies that discourage hiring the best and brightest in science, technology and mathematics. Most qualified people look at all the hoops they are forced to jump through during their three years of "professional" licensing and say forget it. It's not worth the effort. The really talented go back to Industry and better pay.

I agree with "Kronos" comment above-I am a Psychology major and live in S.C. with over 36 hours of graduate school course work completed in Special Education. I still had to deal with the antiquated rules and the "hoops" in S.C. in order to complete my licensure combined by filling positions in schools which had Administration staff who did not support Special Education teachers (particularly new teachers), students or the obstacles that face Special Education in general. I chose to "go above the border" to N.C. which has been far more supportive (of my career change to Special Ed teacher), the licensure process is much smoother and the schools that hire me to complete my lateral entry requirements recognize and accept my graduate course work so that I have to take fewer graduate courses within the 3 years to complete my professional obligations. It is sad that I cannot work in the state I live in but I feel fortunate that I have a job that supports me now, and hope for future improvement someday in S.C. where the schools are not so divided between the "richer" and more "deprived" areas.
