Students vs Pupils

Recommended Posts

Has there been a memo I missed?  It seems like every mention of "learners" in school has recently reverted to "pupils", as opposed to "students".

For the longest time, "pupils" was almost a dirty word in schools - reasons given for using "students" included empowering children, treating them with respectful terms.

"Learners" seemed to be on the rise a little while ago, but "Pupils" just seems very popular now.  Anyone else noticed this?
