Talk:Cram school

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I propose a split of this page and adding the term hagwon to Wikipedia. If there are no objections after 7 days, I will go ahead and do it. Davidpdx 09/05/05

[edit] Reasons for Proposed Split

The term hagwon, although relating directly to Korea, is a commonly used term.

In the current article for Cram School nothing is mentioned in terms of English schools and little is mentioned about schools in Korea.

Specific information reguarding Korean hagwons is useful in terms of people looking for general knowledge about them.

When searching for the term hagwon, currently Wikipedia redirects to Cram School. Davidpdx 09/05/05 19:50 KST

A split seems acceptable, and eventually as editors add information about each kind of cram school it's likely to happen. If you want to edit Hagwon and put an article there about Korean cram schools, why not do that? And here in Cram School you can put in a link to that article. I arrived at Cram school by searching for Juku (the Japanese term, which also redirects here), and that is a subject about which so much has been written that it seems likely to become an article on its own some day. Other nations' variations likewise. The Cram school article doesn't have to become a "disambiguation article"; instead, it can discuss generalities, and focus on cram schools in English-speaking countries, while containing a section with links to articles on Hagwan, Juku etc. Fg2 01:01, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

That sounds good. What I'll do is create a page for the term hagwon and then stop it from redirecting Cram School after I have figured out what I'm going to put on that page. Davidpdx09/09/05 3:35pm KST
