[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in education for 20 years and I go the opposite direction—they’re children. This was actually a topic of debate in one of my college courses. “Students” and “scholars” (blech) implies that they are only focused on academics. “Child” shows respect for the development of more than cognitive abilities and the fact that children have full lives outside school. My kid’s school tries to use “scholars” but it’s not really sticking beyond the principal, thank goodness. [/quote]
