[Tracy Carcione]

Rebecca says it's easy to create an article on Wikkipedia.  It wouldn't
replace anyone's surveys, whenever they come out, just be an additional
resource for people trying to compare schools.  And it could be done pretty
quickly, seems like.

 

I'm thinking that people could put in info about their schools.  I can put
in basics for some, but there's a lot I don't know.

I made a sample of what I'd put for TSE.  I imagine similar sections for
other schools.

What do you'all think?
