Talk:Dalton School

message: Listen, whoever is defiling this page, presumably a Horace Mann student, we kindly ask you to stop. One student's indiscression is not worthy of note on Wikipedia. We appreciate your attempt at humor, but the joke is dead. Thank you.

message: Currently there is a sentence in the text that staes "The highly successful team attends college conferences every year (including those at Princeton, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins)." I have placed a  template after this sentence.  This reeks of POV. What is the justification for the words "highly successful" since there are no verfiable result presented to back upo the claim.

text: Please, assume good faith about your other Wikipedia editors.  Not everyone who edits articles about individual schools is an alum of the school, and certainly every editor should be striving for a neutral point of view in any article.  Sometimes, that might get overwhelmed by stats or by boosterism, but it's no reason to assume that people have a malicious intent.  And this is certainly not the only school with its own article; there's a whole team of people dedicated to writing, editing, and improving articles on schools on Wikipedia.  For example, I'll assume when you say "St. John's" that you mean St. John's School in Houston.  No?  That's okay, because there are plenty of other St. John's schools that have Wikipedia articles.  See what I mean?  Cheers! Esrever (klaT) 02:22, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:I've boldly removed the whole section.  This is an article about Dalton, an institution that exists to educate children.  The parents of those children, then are tangential at best to this article, and thus shouldn't be clumped together in a long list, especially one with no sources.

message: Expecting this will not be a popular addition to the page, I am creating this section so that people may air their thoughts on the subject. Speaking an alumnus of the Doctor's tenure, I believe my single sentence on the subject is NPOV, properly cited, and entirely relevant to the recent history of a prominent institution.

message: I know nothing about the Dalton School, but nowhere in the article does it indicate that it's a charter school, so why's it in Category:Charter Schools in NYC? -Semisomna (talk) 23:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, no clue why it was in a category of charter schools.  It's private, not public. Esrever (klaT) 23:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Justice Kennedy 

message: The aforementioned quotes seem to harbor a pejorative effect.  The relevancy is debatable.  To say "children/students of color" is to assume Caucasian is not a color (a race in this instance) which is abusive and only perpetuates racial fissures in society.  I advocate for this part to be edited or omitted. 75.70.81.85 (talk) 06:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I think New York or Manhattan is acceptable for location. Including addresses of the school could pose a safety issue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinpfox (talk • contribs) 22:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: What? It's not as if the location is a secret. The school lists it on its own website for heaven's sake. Any idiot with a computer could google it and find it. Why would it pose a safety issue? Esrever (klaT) 01:24, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

message: This page must be renamed to the school's official name ("The Dalton School" or "Dalton"). I am a graduate of the high school and calling it "Dalton School" is incorrect. This is just like "The New School" in NYC. Its Wikipedia page is not "New School."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newyorkerguy (talk • contribs) 07:45, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it doesn't. The is almost never included as part of the name of an institution on Wikipedia. You'll notice that there are no "The University of Arizona" or "The Collegiate School" articles. As with things like alphabetizing library books, the the isn't considered part of the title. One easy trick to test is if the word the is capitalized when seeing it in print anywhere else. You're not going to find, say, The New York Times, writing about "The Dalton School", but "the Dalton School". Esrever (klaT) 15:17, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Eleanor Roosevelt- a First Lady of the United States- was an educator at this school.
In 1927, she joined friends Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook in buying the Todhunter School for Girls, a finishing school which also offered college preparatory courses, in New York City. At the school, Roosevelt taught upper-level courses in American literature and history, emphasizing independent thought, current events, and social engagement. She continued to teach three days a week while FDR served as governor, but was forced to leave teaching after his election as president.[76][77]

message: Anybody know what the current tuition is? Seems that would be good info to include in the article, as the articles for similar schools include it. 2602:304:104C:5C69:E98D:CDC4:3AF2:E2FA (talk) 18:22, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tuition? 

message: Since both the old and the new text are unsourced, and since the new content is uncontroversial even if apparently COI, I would favor reinstating the new content. Needless to say, out of process COI edits that introduce dubious content should always be reverted. SPECIFICO talk 13:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the broader question is whether that information is encyclopedic in any form. Too many of these school articles are brochures and not helpful to the reader. That said, no issue if you or any other uninvolved editor decides to re-instate it. Star Mississippi 14:52, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
