Aside from being non-notable, it discusses educating aliens from other planets; this article is complete nonsense. Frog47 (talk) 12:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

This entry was created for instructional purposes only. My students were very impressed with how quickly this was edited. I am removing the nonsense paragraph now that we are done with our discussion. • Pbutts (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 15:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete You really shouldn't create pages for instructional purposes- use existing articles and edits for your observations. Also, you may want to consult this link for some general information. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Oh, lighten UP!!! Considering all the pages that get created here, there is absolutely no need to tell a teacher "You really shouldn't create pages for instructional purposes".  Since Amerly Elementary School is a real school, it's perfectly legitimate for someone to create a page about it.  In fact, it's not uncommon for articles about schools to be created so that students can learn about Wikipedia.  Mandsford (talk) 22:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd add that these articles generally do not stay up very long either, but Wikipedia really is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit". Mandsford (talk) 22:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Read the history. There was initially some nonsense about how it was a school for space aliens. JuJube (talk) 00:50, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks JuJube, I was hoping to portray the kinds of articles that might wind up PRODed or here if classes all over the world did experiments like that. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 02:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
