Talk:Hamilton and Alexandra College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Neutrality
I am going to revert the most recent edits for the following reasons: The sentences:
- Established in 1871, the College has a long history of academic excellence and a tradition of high achievement. With emphasis on small class sizes, the College provides a nurturing yet challenging environment for students from the Early Learning Centre through to Year 12.
are far from neutral. Specifically:
- Who says the college has a "tradition of high achievement"? Just about every school/college prospectus ever written says that - it's marketing guff and it needs an independent secondary source to stay.
- "With an emphasis on small class sizes" is more marketing-speak - How small is small? Small relative to what? Wikipedia is international - "small" in the UK where I teach is under 30 for the state sector, under 15 for the private sector; "small" in the developing world may be considerably higher.
- "the College provides a nurturing yet challenging environment" - At best, these are both value judgements and need an independent source. At worst this is more marketing.
In addition, there's no point adding: {{Guide to Australian Schools}} since the template doesn't exist - I'm unsure what was intended here. I've also re-added a link to the school website since it was removed without explanation.
