Moved back to draft

[edit]

This article thoroughly confuses multiple subjects. The Peabody High School is not the same as the Peabody Model School, and wasn't succeeded by the Peabody Child & Family Center. What you have is:

  • Peabody Model School, for children aged 6-11, which was succeeded by Peabody Child & Family Center
  • (Peabody?) Normal School / School for education, whose students helped or trained at the Peabody Model School.

Only in 1927 was Peabody High School added. Fram (talk) 11:50, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fram I'm glad that you noticed that. I was looking between the article and the references and I admit that I confused things myself also. This is the first time I had an article I accepted moved back into draft space and I'm frustrated that I made that mistake, but I will be more careful. SL93 (talk) 21:39, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the wording can be clarified but it's pretty routine to cover a school through its evolutions. Per one of the cited sources "Peabody served as a public school for Baldwin County children beginning in 1891. In 1927 Peabody expanded its services and began operating as Baldwin County's four year high school."
As far as the Child and Family Center, I used the word succeeded meaning to come after, what word would be better to indicate it followed? One of the sources calls it an offshoot. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:08, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Normal School was succeeded by the college and hosted the school. As the entry states.FloridaArmy (talk) 02:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
