The issue of articles on schools in Wikipedia has long been a controversial one. There are a number of valid points both for and against these articles, and any recent discussion on them has simply boiled down to a reiteration of these points. In the spirit of civility and progress, we should all agree to disagree, and stop arguing the point. A failed attempt at compromise is archived for historical purposes at Wikipedia:Schools (or Wikipedia talk:Schools:archives).
This page is a list of commonly used arguments for or against schools. This is not meant as a debate, but as a convenient place where people can read about and try to understand the opinions on both sides of the issue.
This is not a talk page. Do not sign your contributions. Do not argue with other people. Simply provide what you think is a good reason for keeping or deleting schools, in the appropriate section, and reword and copyedit as necessary if you think something is unclear. Do not push your point; simply agree to disagree. WP:CIV. WP:NPA. Etc.
