[quote=Anonymous]I was reading Stuart Little to my kid last night and in the chapter where Stuart is a substitute teacher for a classroom, he calls the children scholars. However, Stuart is also super pretentious and later fakes a British accent to try and impress a woman he likes, so actually this tracks. Anyway, sharing because I assumed this was a recent phenomenon based on education consultant BS, but turns out that there's at least one example of it being used over 70 years ago to describe elementary school kids.
