Talk:City Charter High School

Comment
Very good start - this is going to be a B if you avoid the adverts Victuallers 19:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Blatant Advertising?
Explain why City Charter High School is like an advertisement. It seems like a very good source of information from a neutral perspective.

And I quote from the article: self-described as a "21st century school that changes the traditional learning environments for students and teachers. The school model is based on the best educational practices, industry and academic partnerships, organizational innovations and technological advances." That doesn't sound self-aggrandizing to you?

"self-described" thats how they describe themselves

Very true, but fully 1/3 the article is quotations from marketing material. Even if properly sourced and quoted that threatens NPOV. Take for instance the founder's section. The only material on them provided is from their official EdSys, Inc. biographies, quoted verbatim. They likely wrote those biographies. Even Jim Wales didn't get away with that. When it isn't quoted directly it often has a marketing spin to it. For instance: "Significant focus is put on information technology as a means to prepare students for the outside world." Nobody who is writing neutrally would write that. Certainly there is some balance, not everything is favorable. The result is that one paragraph is neutral, the next a marketing spiel, and back again. A separate, not entirely related issue, is that the article is also relatively disorganized. History isn't filled out enough, categories are misplaced. Suffice it to say that myself (or someone else) needs to sit down and do some serious revamping at some point, but I haven't gotten around to it.

This conversation would be better situated in the article's talk page. I may move it there soon.


 * What would you suggest then? I very much doubt there would be a plethora of sources for just another high school. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LordArthas (talk • contribs) 06:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
