Credit: Thinkstock

There is an Education Crisis in the state of South Carolina. Roughly 5,000 teachers left their jobs last year and districts are constantly to fill those empty positions.

News reports often cite a lack of administrative support, low pay and an emphasis on standardized testing as causes for the teacher crisis. But what do teachers have to say about it? Lisa Ellis and Nicole Walker join us from SC for ED, an organization created by educators to improve education in South Carolina. Kathy Maness joins us from the Palmetto State Teachers Association.
