[edit] U.S. bias (re: neutrality tag)

I don't have a problem with the contributors who added the U.S.-related information, nor with the information itself. However, the article *should* make clearer (a) Which parts are specifically discussing the U.S. definition of "nursery school", and (b) How the definition varies across the world.

I'd like to tidy the article up a bit, but I don't want to jump in with too many assumptions as to what the writers were discussing.

I have added a little bit of information and seperated the article into UK and USA, I can't comment on countries other than the UK as that is where my knowledge lies. I feel that the picture does not display the correct image - preschool/nursery is older children than the one shown I do not know how to get other images though.Lynnathon 21:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I have clarified the position in relation to the UK as the scottish education system is seperate to the rest of the country. I do feel that the detail and level of information included in the american section is unnecessary. --Brideshead 15:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages please go ahead Paul foord 16:09, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

In line with the BE BOLD mantra I have tried to reword the sections on the US so that it gives a system overview and allows others to see how the thing works. Somone with more knowedge could try to tidy up the first section. How does pre kindergarten and kindergarten work, are they compulsary and free? do most children use both? --Brideshead 16:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
