it's the perfect example of confusion between two different things. if a school is located on the ground floor of an apartment, office, or commercial building, believing that amenity=school is a landuse is wrong. in this case amenity=school (as a node or a way) only describe the localisation and/or the level, not the landuse. It is also wrong to believe that amenity=school implies landuse=residential (because the landuse of an office building is not residential) even if the majority of schools have the same extent between amenity=school and landuse=school (or equivalent), there are many cases that show that sometimes it is different and that therefore the 2 tags are not synonymous
I definitely think the recommendation to add landuse=residential to amenity=school is unsound. Even for a school surrounded by a residential area, I wouldn't consider the school grounds themselves to be residential. My preference with school grounds would be: - Just one school? Continue to use amenity=school as a pseudo-landuse, and put all of the relevant tags for the school (name, etc) on that way. If you want to add landuse=education/school, fine, but landuse=residential makes no sense. - Two or more schools? Tag the grounds with landuse=education, and add the individual amenity=school (plus name, etc) tags on nodes/buildings/areas, as appropriate.
