[edit] Further criticism

There is a lot of positive info on Stuy on the page, however the school has its downsides too. To name a few:

Stress Cheating Rumored opposition to current principal Teitel Criticism of Teachers Oversized classes (35 I think)

Just to name a few. I think there should be some criticism of stuy added on there.JDH82793 (talk) 03:42, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

These are claims that can be made of any school, are they not? Alexguitar594 (talk) 03:35, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not saying it can't be done though. If you find WP:RS with such information about Stuyvesant, it could be a worthy contribution to this article Alexguitar594 (talk) 21:41, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Arson

I think I'll get started on an arson section. I'll probably start research tomorrow. Anyone have any suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myachimantis (talk • contribs) 06:18, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Yup: Keep it encyclopedic. When you're writing, ask yourself whether someone who was never associated with the school would find it to be valuable information five years from now. If you can't say "Yes,", it's probably too marginal to be in the article. Personally, I'm not convinced the topic makes the grade, but give it a shot if you want to.

[edit] Stuy Mascot?

I'm not sure what Stuy's mascot is, but calling a historical figure (Peter Stuyvesant) the school's mascot is rather comical. Maybe the field just doesn't belong in the infobox.

Any ideas? Level Crossing (talk) 02:50, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure I agree. In my day (1970s), he was referred to as "Pegleg Pete", the football team was called the Peglegs, and there was a huge portrait of him on the main staircase to the second floor of the 15th St. building. As we learned when that building was researched for landmark status, the school isn't named for Peter Stuyvesant (but rather "as being reminiscent of the locality"), so he isn't the school's patron. "Mascot" actually sounds about right to me. RossPatterson (talk) 23:53, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
