Associated School redirect

Why does Associated school redirect here? Associated schools aren't experimental teaching technique trial schools but just a school or series of schools to prepare children to eventually enter the sponsor University if they successfully graduate without needing to go through the ordinary entry requirements.

Still not dealt with, 9 years later....

The way to "deal with" this would be to bring the Associated school redirect up at WP:RfD, with a proposal that it either be deleted or retargeted somewhere more appropriate. Nobody's going to do anything about that redirect based on a note on this talk page. FeRDNYC (talk) 03:02, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Remove "Associated Institution" column?

I wanted to ask what other editors think of possibly removing the second column of the table(s) of schools. IMHO there are too many instances of it being either empty, or redundant with the first column, to make it necessary. I'd prefer to fold it into the first column, for the instances where it's needed. That'd give the last column room to widen, which would be a boon. (I'd also remove the forced widths of the first two (formerly 3) columns, so that the table layout engine can do its job correctly.)

Specifically, I'd propose that this:

Canada

School	Associated Institution	Location	Description
Institute of Child Study	University of Toronto	Toronto, Canada	An independent nursery to Grade 6 day school
University of Toronto Schools	University of Toronto	Toronto, Canada	An independent co-educational day school

become this:
