Talk:Kyungbock High School

Latest comment: 13 years ago by 7268jwk

I see the article is biased. I think the article is mainly edited by the school's alumni, as I see too much favorable statements. Like 'prestigious' is repeated several times, but this school is not so this time and to me it doesn't seem to be appropriate to say a high school 'prestigious'.

I will see to it that some of the biases be revised, but as I am currently preparing for college entrance exam, It might take some time to review this page thoroughly and make it fit to Wikipedia standard.Reply
And as to the use of word "prestigious", the three schools remarked in the page (Kyungbock, Kyunggi, Seoul)were literally "presigious" until the abolition of high school entrance exam in S.Korea. SNU(Seoul National University), which is top rank university in S.Korea in almost all areas of academics, selected 3 thosands of its freshmen in the early 1970's. And graduates of the schools I named accounted for as much as 30~45% of the SNU freshmen at the time.(From Donga Newspaper in 1974, 870 of them were admitted to SNU)And many of the nation's leaders were from these schools, including most of the prime minitsers, Chief Justices of the Suprem court, though it has been almost 40 years. I will amend this article after November 18. Thank you for pointing out my bias.


I added citations, and changed every word I could find that doesn't seem fair, and worked with errors in grammar. I'm not finished yet, but hopefully you can tell me if I'm going for the right direction. One thing weird, though, is that DFLHS article says DFLHS is "the most prestigious high school in South Korea" and there's no signpost about it. Why is it so?7268jwk (talk) 15:32, 16 January 2011 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 7268jwk (talkcontribs) 15:28, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
