"Those that care about public education in South Carolina demand better teacher pay, smaller class size, removing other duties as assigned from teacher contracts, less testing and a pledge from our legislature that they will say no to for-profit charter schools and educational savings accounts," the SC for Ed advocacy group said.

Now some accuse lawmakers of retaliatingSC for ED said teachers"are leaving the profession because their salaries are too meager to provide a reasonable standard of living for themselves and their families.
