Talk:Dragon School

message: That thing called a logo looks more like a crest to me, in the technical sense of being the thing on top of the helm (I take it that is a wreath the dragon is sitting on). On the other hand, a crest couldn't very well include that segment of something in the top left corner. Maybe it is indeed a "logo". Does the school have armorial bearings? It's possible it doesn't, given the unorthodox behaviour of the school's early proprietors. Doesn't a logo need to have letters or even one or more words really, assuming it's derived from λογος.--AlexanderLondon 23:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: User:Tai_Kit (who has since disappeared) changed the description from "preparatory school" (which it was when I went there) to "independent school".  Is it no longer a "prep school", or should both phrases be present?  BTW It is still listed in Preparatory school (UK), and a spot check of some of the others listed there still shows the term "preparatory school"...  Jpaulm 17:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I seem to remember being told that the school was originally a school for the children of needy clergymen; and also that its students were at one time used as subjects for IQ measurements that were later found to have been falsified to bolster the theory that IQ is inherited.  Has anyone come across references for either or both of these ideas?  Thanks. Jpaulm 14:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Sir I. S. Anderson ( Ian Anderson (musician) ) 1292-1877! A fine inclusion and very Draconian, in keeping with the spirit of anarchy that the school takes pride in...personally I haven't the heart to delete it, but I suppose somebody else should

message: Does "Dragon has developed its own unique lexicon besides, incorporating a slang particular to the school ('pill' meaning ball, 'with you' meaning pass, and so on)." imply that 'pill' for 'ball' is unique to The Dragon School?  Because it isn't, 'pill' for 'ball' is common and widely used.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.12.63 (talk) 13:23, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

message: There is a significant difference in the chronology between this article and the one on Crick Road. One claims the school moved within one year, the other - after 16 years. At least one of them must be wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.94.86 (talk) 15:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You may need to clarify where you are seeing the dates that you think are contradictory. As far as I can see, both articles would be consistent with moving to Crick Road in 1879 and away from there in 1895. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:02, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
