[edit] NPOV consterversety, Sep. 2006

This whole article sounds like a big promotional piece for the school, rather than an unbiased encylopedia entry about the school. Visual77 20:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Fine i'll delete the part on Peace Day but I it is right to tell The Truth about the school.
  • I was more referring to this kind of stuff: "Several words describe the St. Stephen’s middle school, which was founded in 1991. These words consist of, “active, challenge, safe, nurture, creative, care, academics, and studious.”[2] Middle school students, seventh to eighth grade, are encouraged to continuously question and critique ideas. The school promotes a student’s need for independence, freedom, support, and structure. In addition, the program addresses the many intellectual, social, and creative needs of the students." That is completely biased toward the school. Visual77 20:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • That is basically the point of montessori. I didn't write that part but I did start the article and know enough about St. Stephen's and Montessori to know that was kind of Maria Montessori's Principles. I don't think they excatly mean that is what it was about but more what it should be. --Jimwitz 00:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
  • If that is a motto, mission statement, or something similar, then labelling it as such would put the POV back as nuetral. In the opening paragraph it states the school's mission, which is always biased, but since it's labelled as the mission, it becomes unbiased facts. Visual77 03:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Thank You for your understanding I hope the St. Stephen's Article can work and prosper for years.--Jimwitz 13:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Editor

As some of you may know Jimwitz has resigned and so JimSH* will take over in expanding the St. Stephen's Article.

* JimSH is not a puppet of Jimwitz.
