Talk:King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford

message: This page used to have a fact box.  I'm not quite sure why it was removed, since most articles on wikipedia about educational institutions seem to have one, and it was quite apposite.  Seeing as the editing war on this article has finally died down (thank goodness) I'll check back in a week to see if anybody has any objections to my putting the fact box back in.  Otherwise I'll put it back.86.141.216.238 19:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: someone get rid of them, they are irrelevant and pointless and no one cares about them. whoever wrote them obviously has something against the various KEGS societies so why don't you discuss them with the relevant people face to face instead of using the internet to vent your frustration.
actually the whole point of the criticisms was 2 stop the site sounding like the school prospectus like chris said and try 2 giv some sorta balanced view.  before i put the criticisms on, all this site said was "isn't kegs wonderful, please come here, look at all our brilliant clubs and societies".  all the criticisms i've put up are real opinions of some people (not me) and just meant to give some more information about the school.  i don't think they make the school look bad at all, and in all the criticisms i've tried to give balanced responses on both sides and in fact refuted most of the criticisms.  the fdl criticisms are particularly relevant at the moment what with it being banned every week for no good reason
if there is anything which needs removing it's people plugging their bands on band night, or putting stupid greetings to people in as already mentioned by someone else on this site.
Dear whoever you are,
No-one cares what you think or what a bunch of OLD BOYS think. This is an "encyclopædia".

message: This article was put on my desk. I am going to do some major editing to it. Specifically, it needs to be shortened. It has alot of trivia and non-encyclopedic junk along with extraneous capitalization and lots of other problems. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 11:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The word "form" is well understood throughout the school system in England and Wales and there is no reason to change it to section as some editors to this page have persisted in doing.  The House System specifically splits each year up into four FORMS rather than sections.  This is significant because each form is taught together in all lessons (apart from art,music,technology,maths and some parts of PE-A. Pedant) up until the fourth year when there is desegregation for GCSE lessons.  Before then the houses are kept separate and some intense cameraderie within houses and rivalry between houses develops which wouldn't happen if the year was merely split up into sections.  On a related note, a section is also the specific term used in the school to mean a period of the day (of which there are nine in total) so calling them sections could be a bit misleading.172.211.231.24 18:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This article now has several more references, but I can't find anything to support the two newspaper quotes (which probably did exist, but are not digitally available) or the foundation of the Fleur de Lys (which may well be anecdotal anyway). Is this article now of a suitable standard, and if so, do the tags at the top still apply?
