Talk:Pan American Christian Academy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] This article is very biased, and written by a promoter.

From reading the article, it is clear that it was written by an employee of the school. Many of the facts have an unbased tilt, for the benefeit of the Pan American Christian Academy. I suggest revision.201.15.64.172 15:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)David.

Why, this article is terrible. Firstly, it keeps saying "our." This is an encyclopedia, not an advertisement or something, and should be written with words like "their." It was definitely written by an employee. Please correct that as soon as possible!- Idontknow610

Actually, this text was copied from the [PACA] site. I'll try to copy-edit it as soon as I get off my WikiBreak... --PostScript (info/talk/contribs) 20:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I don't see any problems.

[edit] It may be promotional, but it's quite accurate

I worked at PACA from 2005-2007 and I can attest that this information is quite promotional in nature. However, I can confirm that what is said here is indeed true, with only minor exceptions. The percentages of national orgins is no longer accurate. The number of Brazilian families is higher than 30% and the number of Korean families may be higher than reported, while the American families number is likely slightly lower than 30% now. Of course, this fluctuates quarterly with new families coming in and out. The other factoid that needs revision is the percentage of students attending universities. PACA typically graduates between 25-30 students per year, so even one student represents 3-4% of the graduates in any given year. I don't know of any students in the two graduating classes I witnessed that didn't at least plan to go on to post-secondary training, however, I would still use a figure of 90% just to be safe. Furthermore, I do know that some of the grads from 2006 and 2007 went to schools in neither Brazil or the USA (others include Canada, China, Japan, and Korea.) I've had the privilege of visiting other prominent American schools in Brazil as well as in Paraguay and Chile and I can confirm that PACA is highly respected for its facilities and the work of education.
