Are there articles in the Chinese Wikipedia on normal schools? Since the article mentions them, it would seem appropriate to link to them. Mateo SA 04:49, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Should there be a list of (current or former) Normal Schools? — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
My $.02 says "no," as there are MANY of these schools. Madmaxmarchhare 16:48, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
My French is atrophied, but I'm pretty sure Ecole Normal means "model school" comment posted 20 April 2007 by 192.18.41.196
"Teachers college" and "normal school" are synonyms; some schools use one term and other schools use the other term. There is no difference in the concept, therefore the one article should discuss all schools that prepare students to become teachers. Neelix ( talk) 17:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
I have no problem with this if Normal School is the surviving article. That term is the original term and the article itself is older and more extensive than the Teachers college article. Pzavon ( talk) 00:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
I edited the article earlier to indicate that there was no such thing as a 'Normal School' in the UK and that the phrase 'normal school' would be taken to mean that a school is normal, i.e. not abnormal or unusual.
I have worked in the Education sector in schools and universities for many years, but any ordinary citizen would verify the change I made as easily. However finding a 'source' for it might prove as difficult as finding a source for many statements that are so widely known that they rarely warrant comment.
Nevertheless, the 'follow our script if you don't now any better (and even if you do)' approach of Wikipedia provides the perfect platform for ignorant 'editors' to exercise 'power' within their little dominions.
A, presumably well-intentioned but rather ignorant, Wikipedia editor reverted my change because it was not 'referenced'. However, the same editor apparently saw no need for a reference to support the implicit implication of the converse - an implication much more in need of verification if it is to be (incorrectly) claimed as a blanket definition for the whole world.
Anyone living in the UK would confirm the voracity of my change. That it is unknown to a US editor is illustrative of the variability of quality of Wikipedia editors and, indeed, of widespread ignorance amongst them. Editors such as the one who reverted the change are clearly not the brightest pebbles in the pond and it is unfortunate that they wield such power over Wikipedia content, demeaning its quality as they do so.
Perhaps the same editor believes, on the back of the unreferenced and unchallenged information in this article, that 'Normal School' means the same on Mars or Jupiter or the Andromeda Galaxy as it does, apparently, in the Good Ol' U S Of A, Yessirree. Presumably, anyone who claimed it doesn't would have their change reverted until they provide definitive references from The Daily Martian Chronicle, or similar inter-stellar publications.
If it weren't so sad, it would be laughable that some Americans (of which I believe that only about 25% have ventured outside their own country), feel that anything they read in an American source is de facto correct.
Oh well, back to laughing at Dubbya's 'nucular', and all the Americans who produced an article in Wikipedia trying to demonstrate that he was correct, rather than just 'plain stoopid', as Americans would say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.0.167 ( talk) 23:13, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Apparently this guy taught the first teacher training courses in Lyorn France in 1672. The subject was reading of the Catchecisms. I haven't been able to find out much more on him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.196.223.103 ( talk) 18:32, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

The long section on US schools makes the article very long. The topic belongs in a separate article , where it can be expanded. Any objections to the split? Rjensen ( talk) 05:46, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
