Regarding your outside references on the Challenger School entry I don't believe they add true value to the article and it could be argued that pointing out something that is atypical of other schools actually makes the article less Neutral depending on the point of view of the user reading it. If you choose to add the references back to the article I will not remove them again. You will note though that another user has flagged the article as having been written like an advertisment, so if you are in some way associated with Challenger I would recommend you "massage" some of the text to make it sound less like a brochure promoting your organization.

On my talk page you said "If it is a violation of the NPOV to point out that a school does not have an institution common at other schools then I suppose my comments about parent organizations should be taken out along with my documentation supporting those comments. But it seems that sometimes, what an organization is not happens to be an important attribute of that organization. If, for example, we were describing Sudbury-type schools, we'd surely point out the fact those schools did not classify students by traditional grade levels."

My only thought regarding the outside references is that they should somehow support the item being discussed in the wikipedia article. Those that simply show examples of those parent organizations at other schools don't truly support the article. A more appropriate outside reference would be a newspaper article or blog about private school fund raising, parent organizations, etc. that may or may not mention any given organization by name. Again this is just my 2 cents. Naturally you are free to agree or disagree and I am open to further dialogue on this.

Governor Walker Collective Bargaining
You recently changed the web page for Governor Walker to say that the changes were only for government employees. While this is correct, I think it would be confusing to some people who don't understand that teachers are government employees. Would it be better to change the wording so it states public employees, or public sector employees?Ryan Vesey (talk) 12:19, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

I think more people understand "government" than "public sector". In Britain "public schools" are the opposite of what most Americans would think. And economists, who like to say "public sector", still say 'G' for short, as in "Y=C+I+G". User:Uldin
