Rename

It seems that this category should include faculty, etc. I hate to recommend a re-name, but it does appear something like by educational institution or similar would be more general. Low priority ;) -- Please point to existing conversation. here 18:50, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

new subcatagory -- School of Hard Knocks

Created the category "School of Hard Knocks" for people with no alma mater. That is a universal situation, but "School of Hard Knocks" is an Americanism (I assume), so perhaps it should go under United States? For now I put it here; if someone wants to move it, fine. I don't want to just call it "no alma mater" because that sounds so negative. In America, "School of Hard Knocks" is a widely understood, slightly humorous, but proud, way to say that one has no alma mater. Although the expression is slightly humorous, this addition is in no wise a joke. Herostratus 17:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
