new article[edit]

I didn't try to cover everything. Please add freely.

More on the history of discrimination and efforts to achieve civil rights in education in Harlem and for Harlem residents, with citations to sources, would be very helpful.

Important news stories about any school that doesn't have its own school article in Wikipedia would be useful.

It might be useful to add more of the public noncharter schools and to add parochial schools of various faith communities.

Thank you. Nick Levinson (talk) 07:38, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fix to add noncharters including in west Harlem[edit]

There are many public schools in Harlem - and Harlem is not only on the East side - this is shameful that there is so much info on Charter schools, which are NOT public.

Someone please fix this.

(The above was added to the article by an editor at 173.77.16.89 (talk) and was moved to here and titled by me before deletion or undoing from the article, because discussions about an article belong on the talk or discussion page for the article, not in the article itself.

Please add freely. There are already a couple of invitations to add to the article. To my knowledge, no intention to favor the east side of Harlem is or has ever been present; the article is about Harlem, from edge to edge, and, if you have content to add with respect to West Harlem, please add it.

Whether charter schools are public or private is true of all charter schools in New York State and, therefore, that point is best addressed, with sourcing, in the article on charter schools in New York. Please add to that article if you can cite reliable sourcing that supports the point you wish to add.
