Fernando, if you really were to implement a style, chances are you'd prefer
filter the data once for schools of the primary educational system, without
bothering for explicitely filtering out all possible additional tags for any
other kind of 'schools'.

I agree with Martin. If I were implementing a map renderer, it would be
far
easier to treat categorized things (such as school and restaurant)
using
the same visual style and same icon, instead of specifying each
possible
variation separately (I would need to know all possible values in that
category and the app would definitely miss any new values until I
manage to
update it again). Same thing if I were implementing a POI menu in a
navigation app. Same if I were compiling a list of places to print down
(this way it easily transforms into a nice hierarchical index).
And I don't see why this tagging style would prevent anyone from
searching
for a Chinese restaurant: just search for amenity=restaurant +
cuisine=chinese instead of amenity=chinese_restaurant. Similarly for
language schools.
So my vote goes for either:
- amenity=school + (if not a regular school) training={driving,
language,
music, cram, etc.} ( should work with practically all major
applications); or
- amenity=education + education={kindergarten, school, college,
university,
driving, language, music, cram, etc.}
And definitely against amenity=driving_school, amenity=language_school,
amenity=cram_school, amenity=business_school, amenity=computer_school,
amenity=photography_school, amenity=dance_school, etc.

Two big counter-examples to your argument are restaurants and places
of
worship: If I'm looking for a [Chinese restaurant or Catholic
church] I
am not interested in finding also a [pizza restaurant or Synagogue]
yes, but still it would be a restaurant or a place of worship, while
a
language school has very few in common with a skiing school or a
driving
school.

driving_school3851
these two are also documented, something we should try for the rest
as
well.

not a school IMHO ;-)
...
And it goes on like that with things like cooking, dog, aviation,
sailing,
art, etc schools. So if this seems like the way forward, it would at
least
be good to document a list of values people can refer to.
+1, documentation is desirable, not sure if a common list does make a
lot
of sense. Would you also include a school of dolphins? ;-) Sorry
for the
groaner, but what I intend is that only because part of the word is
school doesn't necessarily mean that they belong to the same group
of
stuff.
cheers,
Martin
