I currently attend EWMS while I live within waking distince of Carver and I think going to EWMS will help the students, and as for some of the teachers coming, well, I feel that will be a big help, albeit will be a bit cramped, as the school isn’t that big.

I drive through Bratt everyday and I have yet to see where all the wealthy people live, please enlighten me. From what I can tell, people in Century are living just as well as those out in that area. We can tell what we are dealing with in the case of Mr. Thomas! Hey, why don’t you go on and say what you really mean!!!

Well, Pensacola has been successful in closing down Century. They want to unite Century with Pensacola well if Century has nothing left but a gas station the people will have no choice but to unite! I feel for the students that will have a long bus ride every morning.

REALLY HOPE THAT WE DON’T DESTROY OUR “BEST” SCHOOL BY MIXING IT WITH THE “WORST” SCHOOL. MY EXPERIENCE, YOU ONLY MAKE THE GOOD, WORSE!!!!!!!!!!! MOST IF NOT ALL HAD THE CHANCE TO TRANSFER YEARS AGO-THE PARENTS WHO WERE CONCERNED FOR THEIR CHILDREN MADE THIS SACRIFICE. CENTURY LADY IS CORRECT WITH HER SARCASM!!!! THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED!!!! CLEAN IT UP BEFORE ANY CONSOLIDATION IS DONE, OR ELSE WILL HAVE THE SAME POTENTIAL FOR PROBLEMS THAT CARVER ALREADY HAS!!

I live in the Bratt / Walnut Hill area and I really wish they had informed us that we were rich?!? haha…. would have made my last bill payments much easier! Seriously, I think that it is silly to think that teachers need training for such as that. Our teachers teach children not their parents paycheck. Our teachers are perfectly equipped and willing to teach a child from any economic background.

My oldest son attended Carver/Century several years ago and he done fine at the school, but by the time my youngest son enrolled 3 years ago the school had changed for the worse. It was very hard for me to make the decision to move my son from Century because I had always attended Century schools from kindergarten to graduation and to this day i’m still pround of that! I had to make that decision for him weighing the benefits he would have. He is in the eighth now and while the classes have been harder and more challenging I know he will be better off during his high school years because of it! Change is a scary thing but when you weigh the benefits it can be rewarding !!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see these students making A’s on F-cat and behaving like the students at Bratt and EWMS!!!!!!!!! Good Luck to all the Teachers at these schools that can do what other Teachers have not been able to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If these schools are the best in the county why do they need training with extreme poverty children I didt’n know Bratt and Walnut Hill were RICH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree . I think that this is the best thing for the students . My child loves EWMS and was worried he might have to attend Carver next year because of their “B” score. Now he has nothing to worry about .I also think that the 56% number would be higher if transportation to different schools had been made easier.
