[edit] Stabbing incident
I think it's fair to say that the 3rd paragraph of the "stabbing incident" section is extremely biased [not to mention largely untrue]. Please investigate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.153.71.95 (talk) 20:43, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
Yes it was obviously written by a govenor or teacher at the school.
I doubt it was written by a teacher, but I know a lot of the students are extremely defensive over how their school has been treated in the press. Perhaps biased, but certainly not largely untrue.
Well it is true that stabbings, or anything that violent, is very rare at the school. I used to go there and the last time anything like this happened was 2 years before I started, this happened 3 years after I left, making it 10 years between incidents. On the other hand its also true that the school denies that theres a bullying problem, even to kids who claim their getting bullied.
Rare? In comparison to other schools in the area and indeed the country, this type of occurance at Collingwood is NOT rare.
Everyone gets in fights everyday, its not a rare occurence...
That's complete rubbish this occurence is rare to Collingwood otherwise why would it have so much press attention? stabbings and bullying occurs at lot more a other colleges but it just doesn't get national press coverage. the ITV documentary was very biased and unfactual(to the extent they didn't even get the location of the incident right) and was written to glamourise the event as much as possible. in a typical fashion, the report villified Mr Oddie and Collingwood students, criticised local police and denied that Natasha had any influence over the matter. Whilst no one should ever be subjected to that level of abuse or violence, it's also untrue to say that she wasn't the common denominator in her bullying problems,as she found in difficult to intergrate into any friendship group at all. Ofcourse accounts can be biased and teachers will want to protect the school's reputation, but that doesn't make the media or anyone else's account less biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.207.98.88 (talk) 17:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
To be honest, I thinks its disgusting how Collingwood Colege is being portrayed in the media. I have been a student at Collingwood for 4 years and never has anything like that happend before. I do agree that that the ITV documentry was complete rubbish - and made the students seem like some uncontrolable beasts. In Colingwood, of couese there are fights, but probbly the same amount as any other seconadary school. Just please keep the edits NPOV. Thanks. Blake01 10:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Misc edit
An admin needs to remove the reference to the first headmaster being dumbledore who came from hogwarts. Patently silly and obviously the reason the page is protected in the firstplace. Please see the Harry Potter phenomenon for where that came from. 86.0.245.133 23:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Done - Harryboyles 01:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
it says the principle is bill oddie in the box but his name is jerry Ourhouse1710 20:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
mr oddie is a fukin dik ed he had it wiv some parents ova his desk and he woddles
WTF? "had it wiv some parents ova his desk". Well, that was the funniest thing I've read all day! Also, there should be at least 2 paragraphs on the legend that is Jamie Collins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.234.65 (talk) 01:41, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Totally true.
Well it's better than exposing himself to students, right Jamie? Now stop trying to get yourself mentioned on Wikipedia. U-Mos (talk) 21:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Change of Importance
I would class this ariticle as a Medium Imporatmce on the scale due to the stabbing incedent. Does anyone else agree?
