Yea I have to agree with CarolinaDG. Granted, I did have SOME good teachers when I was in the public school system but for the most part, the teachers stunk.

My parents moved to York County when I graduated high school which left my brother to enter the Clover school system in the 7th grade. He is a decent student but he still writes essays and papers on the 6th grade level . . . the grade he finished in the Wren school system. Everyone wants to make a big deal out of the York County school system and how great it is. WRONG! The only reason people make such a big deal out of that school system is because it is a rich (money wise) county. It has a nuclear station that brings in a boatload of tax money, Springs Corporation (the textile company), one of the Duke Power headquarters, and the fact the county is right on the border of Charlotte, NC (which isn't a big deal either). Money doesn't always equal a wonderful school system . . . granted money doesn't necessarily hurt, it just brings in more moron teachers to the school system.
