Talk:Chinese school

Biggest Chinese school in US
The claim that St. Louis Modern Chinese School is the biggest Chinese school in US might not be correct. According the the home page of the school, it currently has 400 students. However, Berryessa Chinese School in San Jose, California, has over 1000 students.

 * I have to agree with that. I don't live in either of those places, I'm in Los Angeles. But St. Louis has just 400, while San Jose beat them with a whopping 1,300. I just removed that line for now. ★ Dasani ★ 05:44, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Apparently inaccurate redirect
The search term "si shu" redirects here. After reading the entry, I feel this page doesn't seem to have a lot to do with the sort of traditional Confucian education one would receive at a 私塾. If the same word is used today to describe modern Chinese schools, a section should probably be added to detail the roots of the word and/or the original system of instruction. 173.79.69.233 (talk) 21:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Requested move 17 February 2017

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: revert to status quo, which is what should have happened at RM/TR over a week ago... Anyway, once that's done no prejudice against starting a new RM. I think George makes some interesting points. Jenks24 (talk) 06:49, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Overseas Chinese school → Chinese school – Per WP:COMMONNAME, this is controversial and needs to be discussed Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:54, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

 * , this was a request to revert a bold move from Chinese school to Overseas Chinese school. As such, the page should be moved back to the statusquo Chinese school and then the move request should be started. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:14, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. The move a few days ago requires discussion and consensus. I believe Chinese school is the common name for this type of school, at least in the US, and I've never seen one called an "overseas Chinese school," except maybe in China, and only if the school primarily serves Overseas Chinese (華僑), or "people of Chinese descent living outside China." Chinese schools in the US, especially Confucius Institutes, serve everyone, not just overseas Chinese. Phlar (talk) 13:38, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, it should be moved back to Chinese school, its long standing location. Then if anyone things it needs to be at this address a RM is required, but I can’t see that succeeding as above: the common name in English speaking countries is "Chinese school".-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 13:52, 17 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Either keep current title as is or move to Chinese-language schools outside China or Chinese-language education outside China per WP:DESCRIPDIS. Chinese school and Chinese-language schools currently redirect to Education in China, but a redirect should be converted to a dabpage with the other redirect as retargeted to the dabpage.
