The description got canned before I even saw it.

Away with School Days for me too please! I know I didn't see the description but to me it seems worse to have nothing. That generally says to me that people will assume what it means instead of leaving it open to the imagination...

edit: typo


Petition SIGNED. If it is one thing that bugs me about DPC it is people overanalyzing challenges and this is just an open invitation for anal people to have their way with the challenge description :D

I suggested these ages ago (along with the chemistry & geometry challenges). I also wrote up some descriptions, not sure if they were the descriptions posted (I didn't see them before they were taken down). But if you want to read them, they're here:

I just noticed it's basic editing. I need at least advanced editing preferably expert editing to look like a schoolgirl again...

Add me to the petition. The School Days just adds confusion.
02/07/2007 11:39:48 AM · #35
Yes. I'm on the petition as well to remove school days from the description. We have wayyyyyyyyy too many DNMC Police here -- this is asking for a limit on creativity -- and an open invitation for the DNMC Police to have a field day in giving photos 1's and 2's.

What does "School Days" mean?
Does it have to be shot in a school, in a class. Does it have to include schoolchildren? Should it look like a setup at school? Literal translation to Dutch doesn't really help here. What do they want?

Well, I thought I knew, until I just noticed that the challenge descriptions have gone away. :( Why couldn't the challenge titles have been changed and the descriptions kept? :/

If you look at the past 2 school days challenges for chemistry and geometry you'll see that school really had nothing to do with it.

I thought it was because of the descriptions!!! Now there are no descriptions to say hey... we really mean just music and biology and not neccessarly that it has to be in a school.

It seems everyone is now going TOWARDS the school theme instead of away from it and I find that unfair for a huge number of people. School settings, children, etc are not that available for most.

Adults can go to school also. Many people go back to complete a college degree later in life. Adults also learn how to play musical instruments, etc. Just a couple of thoughts.

FTR - I liked the descriptions better myself. :-/

Also have a look through your local community newspapers/ads....somewhere there will be a school event near you in the next week. Schools are always hosting functions to raise money (school productions, sports etc)...

Be bold!!! Step out there.

Nothing says you must have a school or even school children in your shot. You could have a pile of text books and a desk and that would remind a person of school days. Maybe a music stand reminds you of highschool band class..... use your imagination....

I have access to any kind of music at my school, from symphonic, to local bands, to famous rappers. It may be a university, but it's still school days (or nights ;) )
