It would be great if schools (and universities) were rendered using some icon in addition to the name. At least in Spain, they are very important buildings from several points of view: - social relevance (they congregate a very important amount of people on a daily basis) - for orientation (they are prominent and characteristic buildings that can be used as reference locations) - traffic influence (they often cause traffic jams or crowds in their surrounding areas on opening and closing hours)
There are many other amenities having much lower relevance which are rendered using an icon. Is there any reason for excluding schools and universities?
