[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$20 says some highly paid consultant came up with this term, just to have something to put into a report. And I agree, OP. They are students. The one I hate the most is "learners" - unless you're Ted's kids, of course.[/quote] Like a retired teach turned MCPS admin living off pension and kickback contracts from former peers. Or some new $$$$$ DEI initiative. Now scholar can mean 50% proficiency in basic reading and math. Only in Wash DC, America. Our neighbors moved to Texas for work last year and over thanksgiving they said their ES kids were WAY behind in their new school. And are still catching up.[/quote]
