In Their Own Words
Anonymous responses from Berkeley County teachers — their words, unedited.
“The obsession over using only HQIMs makes me feel like I am not trusted... they are failing their students, their staff, and the parents.”
“One size does not fit all. You cannot tell me the kids at Daniel Island need the same thing that the kids in Cross need.”
“I watch the love of learning leave my students' faces. I hate what this curriculum has done to my school.”
“We are no longer teachers, we are curriculum representatives that work for these multimillion dollar monopolies.”
“The micromanagement has become unsustainable for teachers.”
