Great, accurate video. As a native South Carolinian and public educator for 29 years, there's a specific reason our school ranking scores are so low. First, our standardized test is the second most difficult test in the nation. Legislation wanted a very rigorous assessment, and they succeeded. Second, SC public schools test EVERY child, much to the disagreement of all teachers. We test special education students and non-English speakers with the same rigorous test as our gifted and talented students. Teachers have protested and appealed for years to no avail. Please consider these factors when judging the SC public school system.

Thank you Tiaza! I also love the place of my birth and the conservative values engrained here. You must not have been here in Dec. 1989. Hurricane Hugo (cat 5) hit with the eye over Charleston (where I lived at the time), and devastated the coast. However, God sent us a nice present of 8" of snow on Christmas day (Goole it). Our snowman was the best in the neighborhood, and it also kept the beer cold. Sorry you missed it.

[@terryweller1233]

Love South Carolina and glad we moved here from Maryland. A few other negatives, but still the pluses far outpace the negatives. 1. Sales tax very expensive (around 9--10%) and most everything is taxed. South Carolina also has an annual personal property tax for vehicles. 2. Infrastructure in metropolitan areas not staying pace with population growth. Some areas looking more and more like traffic problems elsewhere. 3. Housing has become very expensive----especially along the coastal areas. 4. Insurance has become much more expensive-----especially HOs along the coast. 5. If you are a property owner but not a full time resident, real estate taxes are significantly more expensiive----like 3--4 times more than residents' taxes. But as mentioned above, it is still a great state to live in on balance!

My property taxes in NJ are $15k/year and car and home insurance together are another $4k.

The plants in the Upstate average between $20-$30 an hour for blue collar workers. That’s not exactly nothing. Poverty and Crime vary greatly across the state and can’t be generalized on a state level.

If, as a recent locatee, you say something like "That's not how we do it in (pick a northern state)", the response is probably going to be something like "Well, bless your heart". Also, you did not mention our rain showers, as in the kind Noah experienced. And, you forgot to mention Mercedes Benz in North Charleston (actually a good thing). But most importantly, you did not tell them about Carolina Gold, as in Bessinger's B-B-Q sauce. If you don't like mustard, stay away.

[@cassidyhunter-mu2bc]

I moved from Western New York "Buffalo" when I was around 9 yrs old. My parents came here for "better" opportunities. As a grown man now in his early 30s that has been between the two states and others my entire life i can tell you there is still no place like home anf like WNY. I understand the reason many left WNY especially in the early 90s, crime.job market. Weather. But i can tell you the BUF is certainly making a come back. As for South Carolina , it is a great and beautiful place to live for some..but not for me. This is just my opinion based off MY experience and is not intended to start a war lol. 1. South carolina isnt just hot and humid it is unbearingly hot and humid, this year it has been hitting the upper 80s and 90s by 10am. If you are a person with any type of breathing problems or a person that loves outside activities...it will be a problem. 2. Getting anywhere worth seeing will take you atleast 30-40 mins. I live just south of Charlotte and traffic on 77 is absolutely horrendous and 485 isnt much better. And yes we seriously have some of the worst drivers and road ways in the country especially when you enter the county of any area. Public transportation is non existent. 3. South carolina lacks the sense of pride or community that many other places seem to have. Yes the people are friendly for the most part but dorsnt feel very neighborly. It also doesnt have the same sense of culture most of your restaurants and stores will be chain industries that are scattered everywhere in this country but does not have many mom and pop or privately owned type places. 4. It is NOT necessarily CHEAPER Any activities even something like bowling can be very expensive as there arent many competitors or other options of entertainment around. Very very few free concerts, festivals, parades or community events happening.. atleast where i am. Sure it is cheaper than say NYC or socal But nationwide not that much of a difference and it gets made up for in property taxes and tourism or entertainment. 5. Overall it is still a very conservative and religious state, that is slowly changing with the younger crowd albeit slowly, for some that may feel isolating. 6. The economy seems to always be growing but poverty is still rampant in many areas of the state and most of the small "townships or cities" have very little opportunities for work, entertainment, education and walkability forcing many to make long commutes to places like Charlotte NC. 7. There is no such thing as "15 minute" cities everything is very spaced out and at the same time congested. 8. The FOOD. one of the things most out of towners immediately notice and or miss is the their food from their respective origin state. Again most places are going to be chains. We do have BBQ if mustard or ketchup is your thing. 9. There are 3 seasons. Hot, Hotter, and cold and wet. Unless perhaps you live in NC near Ashville then maybe you will notice the seasonal changes a bit more. 10. The education system although is getting better, is still very much behind as are most things in this state. There are however some decent universities. 11. This is not at all a GREEN state, cannabis is still very much illegal and you will face jail time for having it. There is no real prospect of that changing anytime soon 10-15 years..maybe. It is also not a very garden friendly state given the red clay "dirt" so planting and growing things will prove to be a challenge. and again you probably wouldnt want to anyways due to the scorching heat. 12. South Carolina is a beautiful state with gorgeous coastal areas and some of the best sunsets, Charlotte in my opinion has one of the most beautiful skylines for a midsized city. I have lived in Colorado, TX, Louisiana, florida, and WNY as well and for me..SC has been my least favorite but thats just me. I have family that moved here and they absolutely love it. It is what you make of it like anywhere but for me those would be my biggest deterrents.

The fundamentalist Christians in America are a e few shades and a profit away from literally being the Taliban. I hope your right about things getting better.

Tremont Church of God does not care what the Bible says they know it they yell at it they yelled at screamed at me and called me filthy names at Sunday school..... 6. they pay their director at Captain Kimberly library 87,000 a year but they barely pay their teachers anything there for the students remain languishing in their stupidity number 50 out of 50 in education.... 7. according to demographics there are number one in violence against women and animals.... there are number five in obesity... number 50 out of 50 in education.... 8. there is no economy in the upstate all of those who are rich who made it through their land dealings have kept the money everybody else gets paid nothing and their cost of living is high this most likely makes them violent..... 9. although it is a very cheap place to retire the cost of living is near zero but you sacrifice if you get caught up in the judicial system you will pay you will have no rights if you have children in school you will pay they will not get an education... if you have a daughter you better put a lock on her because the youth ministers in this area and the teachers are predators some of the police are predators... 10. police will violate your rights right now they will solicit a trespass which is a felony.... the chief finally is gone but the political system says he resigned instead of being fired for his racial epithets and his violence and wearing a gun into a bar and getting drunk..... Tommy Holcomb is violent if you challenge him he will show his violent temper....

I have to ask.... Who (or what entity) is responsible for gathering (and comparing) statistics used for grading state education systems? What are the criteria used for said ratings? I ask because given the obvious liberal (at best, Marxist at worst) bent of our national education systems - K-12, as well as what seems to be a majority of colleges - might those statistics be flagrantly skewered? (How convenient that would be for the little socialists....) For example, when looking at national "gun violence" statistics, it was discovered that no studies include comparative statistics regarding how often a gun THWARTS violence (attacks, assaults, home invasions, car jackings and/or murders)......so all we hear about are the negative gun-use stats that conform to the anti-gun narative. Withholding exculpatory evidence......is tantamount to lying (just look at what the marxist asshats are doing to Trump)... So, if SC is holding steady at teaching traditional core subjects (Math, English, REAL Science and American Civics, as opposed to "Social Studies"), and meanwhile, shies away from modern communist indoctrination......it doesn't surprise me in the least they score lower. Frankly, at this point, I think someone ought to look into it.......I don't trust ANY of these anti-American arseholes.
