3.16.6 Teachers
---------------
Originally: 149
Now: 66

Includes all discussion of teachers EXCEPT their teaching methods and 
qualifications, which belong in 3.16.6.1.  This includes where they 
live, 
whether they have spouses, their level of education, staff dynamics, 
etc.

Most of the posts I rejected were either those double-coded 
unnecessarily to 
both teachers and teaching methods, those using teachers as examples 
to make 
an entirely separate point (esp. male/female portrayal), and those 
discussing an individual teacher character.

3.16.6.1 Teaching Methods
-------------------------
Originally: 242
Now: 154

This category is actually a little more broad than just teaching 
methods; it 
includes discussion of teacher methods, qualifications, motivations, 
etc. 
Basically, any discussion of the teachers in their classroom roles.  
Tons of 
Snape, lots of Hagrid, some Trelawney, McGonagall, Binns, more Snape, 
and 
one Apolyon Pringle.  I also kept discussion of Dumbledore as school 
administrator.  The posts I rejected were mostly those that strayed 
too far 
into character analysis, even if they included mention of teaching (I 
read 
several excellent Snape treatises that I felt were too Snape-centric 
for 
this category).  And also the obligatory repeated ideas were 
rejected, 
mostly Snape-related.

3.16.6.2 Textbooks
------------------
Originally: 26
Now: 20

No real problems here.  I rejected a few passing-mention posts.  
Discussion 
of the textbooks, how they are chosen, how they are formatted, etc.

3.16.6.3 Exams
--------------
Originally: 56
Now: 37

Again, no big problems, just some repetition in explaining A/O/GCSE, 
Highers, and AP/IB exams to non-Brits, non-Scots, and non-Americans, 
respectively.  For all discussion of OWLs, NEWTs, and end-of-the-year 
exams.
