[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the word "scholars" more than the word "students." To me, a scholar sounds like someone who is purposefully trying to learn. They are all students because they are registered at the school. However, when I think of a scholar, I'm thinking of someone who is putting forth their own effort, intentionally engaging with the material, rather than just being a receptacle for others (teachers) to talk at them. Calling everyone scholars of course means that some students are not actually fitting this definition (yet), but I think there's value in calling them what you want them to be so they can aspire to that. [/quote] In Europe and Asia scholar means someone who is past university, top of class, specialist in one’s major. How to the little kids define it? Just skip over the connotation and redefine it entirely as “kid in school in America k-5.” Scholar. [/quote]
