Duodenary Language

[edit]

English as a Duodenary Language? What is this supposed to mean? English as a Twelfth Language? Surely the writer intended some other meaning, some other word. Bertport 15:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this must be wrong, unless it's some kind of unusual internal phrase to mean "past tertiary." I just spent ten minutes trying to figure out what was originally meant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.124.152.234 (talk) 18:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Chinook Middle School (Bellevue, Washington)

[edit]

The article linked above was recently put up for deletion, but the discussion resulted in a speedy close, merge, and redirect to this article. I've incorporated the information about the programs the school offered, as that seemed as though it could be relevant to the whole district, however much of the remainder of the article was about the school itself, and inclusion in this article as it currently stands would have been both awkward and giving undue weight to the middle school. So that it's easier to access that information (as the page is about to be redirected), I have included the text of the article below, for other editors more familiar with the subject to review and decide if this is worth including or not. A lot of this I don't see as useful or notable for this article, however there are some bits that probably could be included if we had similar information included about the other schools.

Chinook Middle School is a middle school in Clyde Hill, Washington. It is one of 5 middle schools in the Bellevue School District, in Washington. It is the "feeder" middle school of Bellevue High School, in Bellevue, Washington. Its Principal is Doug Sovde, and the Vice-Principal is Margit Moore. <section> CMS is known inside the Bellevue School District for its predominantly White/Caucasian student population.

Lanugages

[edit]

This is funny. I would have expected English to be the first language of students. I will change it accordingly to specify these are first languages of ESL students. --DerRichter (talk) 19:37, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gifted Program

[edit]

Excepting the pull-out programs in the primary schools, the main gifted program in the district is the PRISM program, ElectricRush. Why did you change it to "gifted" instead of "PRISM"? KMeyer (talk) 06:47, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As of 2008, the PRISM program only continues up to middle school. At Interlake High School, the program is not called PRISM, but is just a continuation gifted program. ~electricRush (T C) 01:04, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's reasonable. KMeyer (talk) 04:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discriminatory Policies

[edit]

Recently the Bellevue School District has embarked on clearly discriminatory policies as applied to poor students, students of color and students with special/ed needs. The closing of Robinswood school is an example of a practice that puts a class of students in a dire situation. A percentage of these students are likely to end up in juvenile detention centers and prisons. The Bellevue School District - and its superintendent - have clearly stated they intend to reduce the achievement gap. Students being incarcerated in the penal system could clearly help in that goal, as first, Belleve does not maintain its own detention facilities for minors and secondly, due to the arcane rules used in calculating average student scores and passing grades, it is likely that incarcerated students are not counted towards the district's average.

"2008 Strike" section has unnecessary subsections

[edit]

As you can see by reading the section, the 2012 presidential visit subsection, which isn't clearly related to the 2008 strike (if it is, then add it, and I'm almost certain it isn't), yet it's in the same section. I suggest making a new section. Dinosaur330 (Dinosaurs are cool) 14:35, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It used to be like that but someone changed it in 2017 for seemingly no reason. I'll change it back. Nog642 (talk) 20:15, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should presidential visit be deleted?

[edit]

Two sentences about Obama's 2012 visit to Medina Elementary are the only thing listed under "Honors". It really doesn't seem like that big a deal to me, and I don't think it belongs here. Especially since this is the page for the whole school district, not just Medina Elementary. Does anyone have any objections to deleting the whole section?
