"A school [...] is an institution tal-hara designed to allow and encourage students (or "pupils") to learn, under the supervision of teachers." That is stupid! why don't they just trust the kids to do whatever they want! its not like anybody will be a nonsence !!! that is sooooo *** stupid!!

 Is there some way to re-phrase this so it sounds a little less "School is where you go to learn things"? I'm not sure how to re-phrase it myself, but I'm sure there's some way. The article on Cheese manages to not come across as stating the obvious. Perhaps something like the following. Like:

"School [...] is an institution in which students (or "pupils") are educated in topics determined by the culture, or social group. In Private American school institutions this may be a Church, while mandatory Public American scholastic institutional topics are wholly determined by the state." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.155.186 (talk) 15:16, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Not a regular editor, but a couple of tiny things irked me, so I changed them. One was a typo, but the second adjusted content slightly. The bullying bit finishes on a very peculiar note, but before it rather implied that bullying led to suicide almost by default. I tidied up the wording, but I think the point could still be expressed better through a more detailed analysis. School was a word used by the latins to express how badly they felt at the time.

the term middle school is missing, age 7 or 8 to 11 or 12 (varies by region/county), which overlaps primary (junior) and secondary, often used in areas where there are lots of primary (infants) (age 4 or 5 to 11 or 12) schools; also missing Key Stages - a method of classifying the attainment levels expected for particular age groups in a co-ordinated curiculum

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 agree, i believe that a school should focus on the factors of life such as how to make friends, discuss about family,discuss about health, and the other subjects.

  I believe teachers should teach because they love their priority as a teacher and so they should like teaching.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

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) HOLA MIS AMIGOS!!!

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

Problem is determining what is typical. These questions should be covered in depth in articles about particular countries or kinds of schools, and only lightly referred to in this article, mainly for the purpose of linking. That also goes for cafeterias, incidentally, which get too much attention here. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:54, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the article not mention about the schools in Singapore, blah blah blah.. all those nations that have hyper good education systems? I believe it is more important than just saying about some schools(types). I came to the article to see how they think about the importance of a school. No school is typical though. That American school entrance photo,it is wrong, very wrong. Please change the caption to something more unique please.Something like,

"

A school entrance in the city that never sleeps.

"

Please change this. This affects the entire article's meaning of truth.

Term "School", Schule, Schola,... comes from Hebrew Yahwistic occult teaching about "Sh'ol"; which was brought / implemented later into Jesuit Yahwistic / Christian Schools in Europe and Russia. We know that 1. schools were religious. Sh'ol was inspired by old Egyptian secret occult Osiris school called "Tuat" or "Duat". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.58.155.255 (talk) 13:03, 27 October 2010 (UTC) school is the gayest invention ever, I think its gay because you have to work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.19.187.61 (talk) 21:01, 25 November 2010 (UTC) school is also known to be very boring and gay, also some kids suicide from the bordom —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.2.84.33 (talk) 02:25, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The people have done many great things before school was considered "extremely important", and is mainly a source of child emotional abuse instead of qualifiable education due to the fact most "education" is repeated year after year. --Puggie4276 (talk) 22:16, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article predominantly seems to address the work of educators... the hardships of the professional school teacher.

I would like to see a more coherent discription of the history of education. As this article stands, Nov. 2012, it jumps from primary to secondary education as if there is no difference. It also ignores the question of what proportion of any population was provided (and made use of) an educational establishment. Literacy is not a prominent part of this, either. Shame. I should be able to tell you, based on this article, what the average number of years of schooling are for each country in the world (per capita). I should be refered to the standardized tests comparing scholastic achievement across the globe. Instead there is almost totally irrelevant material about stress, bullying, yet nothing about the sexual predation that African girls face. This article seems to have been written by a US soccer mom whos only information is USA Today. It comes across as unbalanced and hysterical. Specific questions that should be answered: What proportion of the world (per capita and per country) really provide all of their children with primary and secondary education? What is the literacy rates? What is the distribution of total years of schooling by continent and region? Because the world is as it is, this information should (perhaps) be provided based on sex of the child, too. How does education comply with and discriminate against basic (UN defined) human rights to gender equality, ethnic and religious equality, etc. ? I thought it is a fact (I am no historian) that religion played a major role in schooling. Yet it seems to have been marginalized here. This article needs to remove some of the topical content, and add more balance. Funding, differences in goals, differences in needs are all given short shrift.216.96.77.238 (talk) 19:36, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why do both the unschooling and home schooling pages merit criticism and yet this page does not? This is clear bias. Criticism should be included proportional to what is seen on those pages. Logan Tanner (talk) 16:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cpuld not agree more. This article needs a criticism section. It's like totally not fair because people have a diversity of opinions on it and it is like a totally controversial article man. There should be at least some criticism in here. I mean like this is totally biased and shit.

I must say I agree that this article needs a serious overhaul. I mean it does not seem to have a criticism section and this makes it even more biased than it would be anyway. It just is not fair the way it is written.

There should be a criticism section on this article, because it is common for Wikipedia articles to have a criticism section, and school is a deeply controversial institution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.231.172 (talk) 12:08, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To my dismay, this article is locked, so that it will not be enhanced. Some kind spirit, apparently a human capable of thought, added a "citation needed" tag to the statement that schooling would often be compulsory. The opposite is true. While many nations pronounce a metaphorical duty to attendance which may be avoided, only a few totalitarian regimes like those of Northern Korea, China or the Federal Republic of Germany go as far as blackmailing parents or abducting children for the profit of a so-called "educational" system, known as "schools". The Citizen of the Republic of France Andre Stern for example had feeling parents and has so managed to grow up unharmed. The large discrepancies in the measure of violence a schooling system will apply against children deserve a paragraph. Who locked this article, and are they biased, i.e. under the direct command of a "school board", a "government" or similar authoritarian institutions? Please unlock it.
