[quote=Anonymous] The school is wrong to insist, and also wrong about the traditional definition of the word scholar. A scholar, understood traditionally, is a person much further along in their education than a child at school - they are usually a subject matter expert in their field. Now I grant you that the English language evolves constantly, but the school should not insist on the word change. It makes them look ridiculous. To use that term to refer to children is absurd. There is nothing shameful about the word student. I would continue to use it. [/quote]
