Talk:Garfield High School (California)

What does "minority comprehensive admission" mean?
This phrase doesn't seem to exist anywhere except on copies of this article. Predestiprestidigitation (talk) 08:55, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Not Sure
It hasnt been proven to be arson. It could have easily been anything else, such as a gas leak or a spark. Alexj765
 * I do not suppose we can flesh its mention in this article? As an editor living very close to this school, I have seen news reports on television that classes have about the major impact this will have on the routines and operation of the school.


 * According news reports in today’s morning news from KTTV and KTLA that in addition to classes being cancelled for May 21, 2007 with the possibility of resuming the following day, there is doubt as to possibility of the auditorium ever being rebuilt to its original grandeur. Standardized testing that was to be conducted this week may have postponed.


 * One item of interest I have noticed throughout television and print is the ambiguity as to the extent of the damage. While almost all news reports seem to agree on the severe damage to the auditorium, I recall an interview broadcasted with the principal mentioning fire and water damage to joined building that houses administration staff and some classrooms.  As of time of this posting, I have not heard anything related to the principals comments.--Kevin586 15:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-neutral Position
"The legacy of Jaime Escalante is overrated. It can't be seen in the 722 students who took AP tests of some sort in 2000. They had a 44% overall pass rate, which is comparable to the national average.[7] Great teachers at Garfield High are still being ignored only to give Jaime Escalante all the credit." This, from the Advanced Placement section seems to not be Wikipedia stuff. I think it should be fixed to be more neutral. hornplayer2 (talk) 06:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Negative, your viewpoint is in error. The paragraph accurately cites what took place prior to, during and after his tenure. The drift is pretty easy to see and the reason why the school and he garnered national attention that led to a movie about the phenomenon. --Morenooso (talk) 00:49, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

The use of images of movie posters to illustrate this article
Very simply, you can't. Images of movie posters are copyrighted. There is an exception to the copyright law which allows an image of a movie poster to be used to illustrate an article about that movie. That's called "fair use". It cannot be used anywhere else. I removed two today. Gtwfan52 (talk) 05:26, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
