Thousands of South Carolina teachers are to protest over pay, policy and mental health
Saani Perry knew he wanted to be a teacher since he was 8 years old. Not just any teacher -- a South Carolina teacher.
"I moved here from Germany, and I had a teacher in the 2nd grade who went above and beyond," Perry said."What she did for me was unmatched. ... I wanted to do that for other students." Fast forward 17 years, and Perry is now an 8th grade math and science teacher. But his dream job is marred by"a cycle of anxiety" that makes him consider leaving -- abysmal pay, a lack of school resources, and critics who say teachers should just do their jobs without complaining.
