Talk:Leonia Alternative High School

Impartiality
While I do agree with the article's stance, I also believe it is not being impartial by stating its views from a pro-Alternative side that views the Unions as self interested, without giving the Unions' own statements which gives concerns about: 'run into serious trouble on a number of generic bases'(whatever that means), and is elaborated shortly after to be 'health and safety infractions', then goes into inadequate supervision for a school day starting at 7:30 and ending at 11:30 and attacks the 'pseudo-"courses"' and the lack of qualification of the educators, the final concern being more or less, divisiveness, inequality. The article presents the main concern of the teachers as their jobs, which they explicitly deny. Taken from https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-record/137171879/ which is a source in the article 125.165.109.166 (talk) 01:40, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the comments. I have added to the article the bits about inadequate supervision of student activities and the potentially long student days.  I didn't include the teachers' denial of concern for their jobs because WP:MANDY.  The health and safety infractions claim was I think part of some long dispute about where gym classes were held, that I didn't want to get into detail about.

 * Would Vicki's book be counted as a reliable source then? I believe a New York Times article cited in this article(which I am unable to access so I'm making use of google previews) does mention her status as a faculty member in the alternative high school, which could mean by the same logic, she isn't a reliable source. 125.165.104.29 (talk) 22:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)


 * The Karant journal article is used judiciously to cite some factual statements about the nature and goals of the school and narrative elements about what happened in the dispute. For those purposes it is okay to use.  Other aspects of the Karant article, like feelings around the school's demise or the multiple allusions to Socrates, are not used.
