in school they is usually alot of drama and hatred.

Just wondering if we should have a subcategory for the meaning of school for Asian/Third World countries since we have the different school systems for Europe, North America, US, etc. I feel like this will eliminate the apparent/perceived Eurocentric bias that some articles might have. For example, for the Asian school system, we might mention the cultural history of how a traditional academy was perceived? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.234.135.238 (talk) 18:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

School is a horrible place for children. Parents never know what their kids are doing. School was a word used by the latins to express how badly they felt about smelly socks. school lets kids enjoy there future to work for jobs. also school have a lot of hatred and they begin a lot of rumor. you will also loose many of your good friends from it. So, leave now.

The definition of school is entirely opinionated. School definitely does NOT encourage learning —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.121.87 (talk) 00:45, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct - adding links is not vandalism. My bad. However, adding a link to the same site from multiple pages - http://rise.f2o.org - is considered linkspam and is against Wikipedia policy. Cheers. --PhilipO 18:46, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

This is a technicality, but many educators would not agree with the implication that students learn from teachers. (Teachers don't just dispense information) I would change it to "A school is an institution where students (or "pupils") learn with the help of a teacher." but this sounds better: "A school is an institution where teachers help students (or "pupils") learn." Does anyone agree this might be a more technically correct description of what happens at schools?

Yes I would agree that students no longer learn from teachers but I would phrase that by saying "A school is an institution where student learning is facilitated by teachers" or "A school is an institution where teachers facilitate students' learning". I don't teach English so feel free to correct any grammar. Sarahmc92 (talk) 21:12, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"A typical school entrance building in Australia" is a bad caption for the picture, for one its not a "typical" school entrance

== NPOV -- Student stress in school ==I deleted the following sentences from the sub-section 'Stress':  Not to mention the pressure on the students! In school, they are judged mercilessly based on sparse test grades, The dreaded Standardized Tests, and their peers.These sentences are POV.  Please refer to WP:NPOV.  The stress on students is an important topic that should probably be included in this section.  However, it should be written from a NPOV standpoint with references to studies linking stress and school or studies/experiments that prove stress exists.  While we all know students do undergo stress in school, from an encyclopaedic point of view it needs to be backed up with verifiable references and sources to document that it indeed does exist.  Josborne2382 22:56, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Reguarding stress, the section only covers it from the teachers' point of view, which means it's not neutral. I moved the POV tag to that section and as a little girl i knew school was going to be boring for me because i was smarter then the avrege girl/3rd grader. --Pwnage8 (talk) 22:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC):As far as the stress thing goes, I was gonna say the same thing. My first thought upon reading that subsection was, "EXCUSE ME? This is about how stressful it is for the teachers??? THE TEACHERS??? Omfg..." My first thought upon reading the "Discipline" subsection was, "Hey! This is only from the teachers' point of view! WHAT ABOUT THE STUDENTS??!! :'(" As a student who has had an extremely stressful semester, I found it very belittling to see not a single mention of how students might view this whole thing.[reply]
:Another thought I had while adding this to the talk page was, "AT LEAST THE TEACHERS GET PAID! AND IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT, THEY CAN GET A NEW JOB! I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE! (And I've never received a paycheck for coming to school, have you?)" Obviously, no one should ever, EVER, add that to the article. 72.39.148.218 (talk) 04:51, 20 July 2008 (UTC)This omitted that 16 to 18 year olds typically go to colleges (studying "A" levels or other advanced level course for 2 years) after leaving school. Some secondary schools/ grammar schools offer a sixth form for 16 and 17 year olds allowing them to study "A" levels whilst remaining at school (instead of going to college). A typical route (among various other routes) could be Primary School (infant school and junior schools often on the same site), Secondary school (age 11 to 16), college (generally age 16 to 18), University (generally 18 years plus). Note that Universities are often made up of Schools (referring to subject areas) and sometimes colleges (which groups of students will belong to).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.5.141 (talk) 20:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC The stress seion on the school article should tie in facts; and tie them in with the other facts, about governing parties, about teacher who want to teach. Such as laws that prohibit the old mandatory sysem of breach of conductfrom being carried out in countries such as and asking others to base eir points with facts will eliminate open ended bias and trivial conflict on who suffers more at school or how much life sucks dick, or lifes a bitch which illustrate very little and is open to alot of interprations whi are at large misleading. I further still suggest to avoidPyschological Study refrences since its easy to found ideas of who suffers more in such refrences. Unless you can find more viable points beyond, students suffer the most and teachers suffer the most then avoidance is strongly advised.                                                                                                --Suggestive 16:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC[reply]

Should the artice be reworked to shift it's focus towards the typical structure of the school and education process? I belie yes, because article that mentions cafeteria as a part of the school yet says almost nothing aout the gdes etc seems to be ather uninformative and even misleading ArchSaur (talk) 15:51, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Problem is determining hat is typical. These questions should be covered in depth in articles about particular countri or kinds of school]] (talk) 01:54, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
