[OSM-talk-be] How to tag schools? An attempt to create a (belgian) tagging scheme

[Brice Maron]

Just chiming in....
I stumble upon this , and honestly i also find the situation is a bit of a
mess ATM between isced, school=, amenity=... school:BE, school:FR (yes
there are a few in belgium), ...

One thing i noticed is that you've noted
amenity=kindergarten as kleuterschool/Maternelle .. my understanding is
that it was more like creche
and childcare was kinda controversially rejected

how do we stand with that?

Anyway, thanks for the discussion
