I am proud of the students of Carver high school and yes I am a former Cobra as well! There are many things that the children could have done to get their points across but they chose to take correct way to have their concerns addressed by invoking their rights to have a peaceful protest. They acted as mature young adults concerned about their future. And yes, we definitely Ms. Mason, because she was genuinely concerned about the children's welfare and wellbeing at Carver High School. Yes, she was definitely a cobra through and through! But this school has alwawys overcome many things that have threatened it's integrity. I also agree that no change will come if you don't stand for whatever changes you want to make. So I say stand students! ... Stand!

Being an educator doesn't make you a bright bulb, it only means you work. The stupid statements made by the pencil pushers were unbelieveable. An incorrect transcript creates all types of problems. The students method of attention getting worked. They came to school and protested instead of staying home in silence. Get off your collective butts at the board of education and attend to the matters of academics.

-Go Cobras .!, and stand up for what's right, and to be honest the school would have NO problems, and still be running smoothly if Ms. Mason had not left, the new principal doesn't know how to properly run a school and budget money .!

I'm proud of these students. The comment by the Superintendent is disturbing to say the least. Graduation is nice, but college is better. It might not have harmed their chances to graduate, but it can destroy their chances of getting a college education. Is this the first year Carver has had a Senior class?
