Talk:Public school

This is also in Liberapedia. I wrote most of it there. Ryan wrote the small section about Australian Public schools. Proxima Centauri 05:43, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Deletion
I second Chaos' nomination for deletion. The very title of this article has such a narrow meaning—it refers to the location of public education, not the education itself—as to be useless to RationalWiki. I propose we delete it and redirect to public education. Essayist RA Talk to me _ 06:19, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
- I agree, and also think that the "fun" space version should be moved back here. ħuman sap 22:37, 5 July 2008 (EDT)
- I like RA's idea of being a redirect. ThunderkatzHo! 09:47, 5 August 2008 (EDT)
- I say keep this version and add more stuff about school prayer and complaints about the incompetency of public schools & other controversies. --AP 18:12, 9 September 2008 (EDT)
- But "public education" is a better phrase, "public school" means entirely different things in different places. ħuman sub 18:28, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

- OK how about this - let's try to format this page like Wikipedia's article - with disambiguation as lead and then elaborating on the different meanings later on, as well as mocking Conservapedian musings.--AP 18:51, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
- So the lead would be "for a discussion of government-funded education, see public education", and this article would just be about British public schools? What from CP would go here and not at PE? Couldn't PE just have a brief note in it describing the Brit. thing? ħumanculous 20:25, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

Hmm...according to Wikipedia "public school" means "state-funded" school in US/Canada/Australia, while in UK = private boarding school. Maybe this could be a disambiguation page like WIGO, including the "fun" page and the public education thing. But how will we define US public schools - as the Americentric CP puts up in its public schools and public school culture articles? Those are some good research/humor starting points. Perhaps we could do a reprise of "public school culture"?--AP 01:47, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
