[edit] Things to edit...
The article is fine and all, but it should be written in third person (Can't have 'our curriculum'). Also, there should probably be a bunch more links to different pages, and try to look for articles that link to this page.
So, if you're editing this:
Our students enjoy learning a varied repertoire of pieces ranging from classical to modern, with stress on vocal quality. Training is received in reading music so that singing music at sight can be accomplished. Music performances will be given on designated occasions as culminating events.
Make it this:
The students involved in the vocal program enjoy learning a varied repertoire of pieces ranging from classical to modern, with stress on vocal quality. Training is received in reading music so that singing music at sight can be accomplished. Music performances will be given on designated occasions as culminating events.
Etc, etc... Don't have time to do anything now.

I agree. I have little time as well. When, however, I do have free time, I'll copy-edit it. Btw, thank you for your contribution. Also, in the March 21, 2007 part, I replaced your edit with what I put originally, which, in my opinion, is more informative and valid. Some other person (71.246.126.34) replaced had replaced that edit with the message stating that the students and teachers have no idea what happened.

Blue Canary, the teachers did have no clue what the incident was, but the most relevant inference was sexual intercourse. Also, BurnedThru, the article is mostly in the 1st person because it was copied straight off the mark twain web page. I didn't even know until I was checking up my homework...
Just a little question, based on the March 21,2007 section on the article. I don't think the teachers still patrol the corridors anymore. The entire school was informed regarding this fact I believe. If anyone knos if this is true, change the section a bit. InternationalEducation 5:25 28 March 2007
True. BlueCanary9999 23:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
[edit] Mark Twain
You're in 6th grade in Mark Twain right? I'm currently in 9th, I attended MT, and I know ALOT of people in 8th grade and alot of people who know alot of people in 8th grade, so I know what happened. I even know the "raped" girl's brother. I like your edit of the subject, but that IS the reason why the measures were enacted (why else would girls now have to go to the bathroom in pairs?).
P.S.: By the way, she didn't get forced into it, lol, no need to put that in the article, just letting you know so you can gossip if you want. Burnedthru 23:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
No, I'm not in sixth grade. I won't say what grade I'm in, however. Nevertheless, you have no proof of what happened (no proof that you can actually put on Wikipedia, anyway), so all we can do is say that it is a rumor and nothing else. And btw, the rule "always was" that girls had to go to the bathrooms in pairs. That was a common rule for many schools in the US, not just Mark Twain. Carol Moore said that she trusted the students, but apparently not as much any more. BlueCanary9999 00:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
Hmm, I'm in sixth grade though... and I think there is no proof because nobody knew what actually happened. Besides, she said all these things during AM homeroom that proved the rumors were wrong. InternationalEducation 11:19, 29 March 2007
I'm just asking, do we actually need the March 21,2007 section on the article? I'm pretty sure other news-related incidents were involved with Mark Twain and if there's only one, the article is not balanced. It would seem like we added something extra, other than the purpose of proposing news.
Hmm, how can we make this entire article third person? I'm thinking that most of the irrelevant percentage rating of this article probably came from the point of view the article is written in. I'm not going to change it because I'm too lazy...
[edit] Links
Not really links but I added a bunch of pages that redirect to this article (ex: mark twain is 239, mark twain 239, mark twain I.S. 239 <- with the space between the . and 239 ) and I also deleted the Mark Twain Intermediate School article and redirected it to this because it was the same thing... Burnedthru 17:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Ah! Thank you! Do you think the Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) article should link to it? BlueCanary9999 01:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
The Mark Twain Intermediate School page was a copy of this page. I didn't want to rewrite a whole article so I copy and pasted. InternationEducation 3:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I forgot to mention I linked the Mark Twain article to this as well. And why would you make an identical copy of the page when you can just redirect it? Oh and regarding the March 21st events, don't bring that back, it's pretty much useless and there have been many other events that were not written about (like BCB). Burnedthru 15:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Okay, I spent a good hour wikifying the page, the main portion of it being in my 16:06, 4 April 2007 edit, the others are minor edits. Now, we finally have a normal Wikipedia article =) Although we need some images... Burnedthru 16:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Okay, we have a free copyright image... the article is finished. Burnedthru 16:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. Thank you very much. Don't images require a copyright? Also, what's BCB? And why not bring it back? Wouldn't you prefer that at least a few of many events were written about instead of none at all? It doesn't harm the article in any way. BlueCanary9999 17:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
The article is so much better now after wikifying it, but I believe there are still some wrong facts. A definite wrong one is the year the school was established. I'll have to ask a staff member about the year. By the way, how dd you get a picture? InternationalEducation 21:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
It doesn't state anywhere when it was established.... BlueCanary9999 19:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
By free copyright, I meant it is copyrighted and is free to use. And I'll leave you guys with the task of when the school was established because I'm not in the school...
Oh and also, if you are in 7th or 8th grade (assuming that you were telling the truth about not being in 6th grade), then you would probably know what BCB is since it happened last year...Burnedthru 01:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
The article says it was esablished on 1972, but i'm pretty sure it was established more than 50 years ago. I have to ask my social studies teacher after vacation to be sure, although he might not know. InternationalEducation 11:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
About the copyright, how did you find it? And, still, can you tell me what is BCB? Maybe the abbreviation is throwing me off. I don't recall it though. And no, the article doesn't say it was established in 1972. BlueCanary9999 22:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
[edit] Conversation...
Hmm, I was too bored so I figured if we had something to talk about, this section would be nice. InternationalEducation 12:03, 6 April (UTC)
Just a sec, what is the relevance percentage for this article? Although the articles are being redirected the REL% is different and I'm seeing different numbers each time. InternationalEducation 12:08 6 April (UTC)
Who cares about relevance percentage? Burnedthru 16:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
It shows how good the article is. InternationalEducation 3:23, 7 April (UTC)
Somebody was messing up with the article. InternationalEducation 20:07, 9 April (UTC)
