Talk:Fasori Gimnázium

What does Sárospatak and Pannonhalma have to do with this article and to which Radnóti Gimnázium does this article refer? (I'm sure there must be a dozen of them.) Alensha 18:55, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The intended reason was that Sárospatak and Pannonhalma also have historically famous secondary schools (although Sárospatak is not currently among the very best ones). Perhaps separate articles could deal with the schools themselves, rather than the cities/towns. – Radnóti Gimnázium is mentioned here because it is also among the best Hungarian secondary schools (always in the top 10). It is meant as the one in Budapest. I thought the most illustrious Hungarian secondary schools could be linked to each other in the Wikipedia, if they have a solid recognition. – The most recent source (in Hungarian): [1] -- Adam78 09:25, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I thought the category would be enough to link the schools together, but linking them is a good idea too. Should we also have a list of the best schools? (It changes every year and there's not always an agreement on what makes a school one of the best ones.) Which Sárospatak high school did you mean? (The town's article mentions only the teacher's college, I'm not sure if it was also a high school in the past.)
Also, all the other non-English school names are translated, maybe we should use "high school" instead of "gimnázium" in the titles to keep consistency? Alensha 12:58, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

1) Yes, we could have a list of the best schools, and in this case this list would suffice as a link under the individual schools. However, it should be possibly defined in such a way to exlude future disputes.
2)As to your suggestion that their list changes every year and there isn't always agreement: that's why I wrote "if they have a solid recognition". I suppose there are a few schools which have a stable position and reputation. I'm not sure we should keep an up-to-date (or whatever) list of the best schools of the current year. Perhaps we could compare the official statistics to select the most solid ones which were in the top 10 ten years ago as well as today.
3) I meant the Calvinist College of Sárospatak.
4) I'm against translating the names of non-English schools into English, since Hungarian education considerably differs from both UK and US education, which differ from each other themselves (for example, "high school" means a 6-year education to my knowledge, and is not in use in the UK), so we can only illustrate and/or explain their function and role.
5) Because of the above, I'm not sure whether "high school" or "secondary school" (which seems like a more general term) would suit better to these Hungarian schools, or even "grammar school". But in my opinion, these could be applied certainly not in the article title, only in the explanation.

I wrote an article about Education in Hungary, we can link there to explain gimnázium.
The list on nol.hu only has 10 schools, there's a longer list at [2] with more information.
