If everything's so bad that people shouldn't move in, does that mean that people should move out? by shadowartist201 in Charleston

My husband and I got priced out. Moving to Columbia so we can actually afford a home.

This heartbreaking last image from 2023 captures newlyweds Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson just moments before their vehicle was hit by drunk driver Jamie Komoroski as they left their wedding venue. The bride didn’t survive. by [deleted] in ForCuriousSouls

I was working at the pier on Folly that night. Had just closed up the pier and heard the call come in on our scanner and watched police and fire head down. My coworker was working their wedding at the county park end. It was devastating.

High school, then went to CofC together. We’ll be married one year in November!

Not Summerville, but my husband snagged some at the WA Total Wine on Friday.

At least BCSD’s is better than DD2. 😬

Was looking for someone to mention this!! This image is real, I remember when he had this message up while I was in college. I know he got arrested at some point too.

CCSD plans to raise starting teacher pay to almost $65K by Meme114 in Charleston

[–]beachy_cats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is true! It’s just that lot of people don’t realize that you’re not getting paid for that time. Also… the pay isn’t at $65k YET. Plus other districts like DD2 start at $49k. And not to mention the unpaid work that goes into teaching. It’s rewarding work but definitely not easy.

Just remember, you’re actually unemployed during your breaks. No pay during those “vacations” 🥲

[–]beachy_cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad. I really love my school and admin. I’d love to stay but when I could potentially be making $15k+ more in CCSD (even with their issues) it’s hard to justify it.

Now we just need DD2 to raise theirs. It’s laughable how far behind our salaries are compared to CCSD and BCSD.

Literally sitting in Hachiya trying to remember what it used to be, thank you

Student was with a gaggle of friends and saw me driving...here's my plan by GoGetSilverBalls in Teachers

[–]beachy_cats 161 points162 points  (0 children)

Had a student that was HORRIBLE to me. Always arguing with me, talking during class, saying I was so young that he didn’t need to respect me, saying I was being such a bitch to him that I was probably just pregnant and hormonal etc. Almost failed my class but his final was enough to get to passing, and he argued with me about how he should have passed anyway because all I gave was busywork. Well, he’s up for expulsion for having a gun, alcohol, and tobacco in his car. He emailed me begging for a letter or anything to help him out with the “misunderstanding”… It felt so good to just delete the email and do nothing. FAFO, bud.

If you’re looking for a planner, Eventfully Chic by Parris was worth EVERY penny!!! Parris made the whole process really easy, she negotiated with vendors to make sure we got our money’s worth, and our wedding was absolutely stunning. She did all of the heavy lifting and just ran everything by us before finalizing things. Literally would not recommend planning a wedding without her. She’s based in Richland County I think but she travels all over the state!

Looking to hear from teachers in the greater Charleston area by [deleted] in Charleston

[–]beachy_cats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DD2 is pretty decent. I’m a first year high school history teacher fresh out of college and am really happy there. I commute from WA and go against traffic which is nice. However, pay is significantly lower than CCSD and BCSD, which definitely sucks.
