[edit] Education

[edit] Schools

  • To be manually checked, deleted or moved to article's talk page:
  • Central College needs the university box completed and more detailed information on the ongoing discrimination controversy. --Morningstar2651 15:43, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Lincoln High School (Manitowoc) Was copyright violation (and might still be). Formatting & images are all wrong (I don't have the skills to fix). --mtz206 01:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Bc Christian Academy is mostly opinions by one of my school's former alumni. I've cleaned it upa bit, but ti still needs attention.

As well, we have to move the article to British Columbia Christian Academy.

Students and others, please redo this article. Dion 02:24, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Nalanda_College is mainly a list of this Sri Lankan school's Old Boys of whom a few dozen at best deserve an article. Krankman 21:38, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Education Miscellaneous

  • See also Portal:Education, which is not queried to produce the below listings.
  • WikiProjects
  • Categories covered
  • Stubs
  • To be manually checked, deleted or moved to article's talk page:
  • Anti-racist mathematicstalk: No one who understands the concept seems to be willing to edit the article. Some explanations have occured in talk, but more are needed in the article. ¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸ 04:05, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Education reform. Not sure if this is the right place, but the article has previously had serious POV, accuracy, logical, and rhetorical problems, and while I've put in a lot of work on it lately it needs more eyes than mine. If I'm barking up the wrong page, just yell at me. -- कुक्कुरोवाच|Talk‽ 23:58, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • I've put some work into it, but a lot of that work was raising questions about what's still there (see Talk:Education reform). Hopefully it will make editing that article less daunting. Soundguy99 10:10, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Preschool education Previously listed on cleanup, but that doesn't seem necessary. Needs looking over by someone familiar with the subject, and possibly some extension. Rvollmert 16:24, 2004 Aug 21 (UTC)
  • Dalton Plan and Helen Parkhurst seem to be fascinating subjects. Moreover, a quick Google check reveals that there are "Dalton" schools all over Europe (Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, wherever), not just in New York City. A summary by a practitioner would be great. |l'KF'l| 08:37, Sep 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Lifelong education Was a stub that was cleaned up from an unformatted article previously listed on cleanup; it needs far more work from someone familiar with educational practices. Alcarillo 16:58, 8 May 2004 (UTC)
    • I have merged Lifelong education with lifelong learning because it is just two sides of exactly the same thing. Still needs improvement, which I'll try, time permitting. <KF> 21:35, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Efficient learning method Another stub that was cleaned up; needs a lot of work. Alcarillo 16:58, 8 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Homeschooling is nowhere near NPOV--it's written from a pro-homeschool perspective, and even the "opposition" section just attacks any critics. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 13:40, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • It seems a lot more neutral to me now. Someone else give this a look and see if anything needs to be changed still. Buddhainabucket 11:05, Aug 19, 2004
    • The part on opposistion is still very NPOV, the author is just giving reasons why the critics are wrong, and not just presenting the opinions of the critics. Sept 6, 2004/ CJrs 79
    • I did some work on the neutrality of the oppositon section - actually added in some argument. Trisk 03:16, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Public library Had some information about the origins of the public library from a now deleted page first public library merged in. I actively welcome editing and expansion of the merged section and also the whole article could do with some attention and possible restructuring I think. Oska 05:34, Jul 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi comes straight from the 1911 Britannica. What about pedagogy during the last 95 years? <KF> 02:42, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Intellectual property education Probably needs self promotion removed as does perhaps presumed autobio Shaheen Lakhan; Human memory process by same IP (noted at #February 4, 11th item), and those labelled "(Top)" at Contribs of (surely) the same person are also not yet edited by others, and may (or not!) still deserve scrutiny
  • Deweyism This is a stub that (as far as I can tell) contains no information not already in the John Dewey article. And the "ism" in the title smacks of POV. Unless someone can come up with a major expansion this may be a candidate for deletion. Soundguy99 19:38, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
