]]otheruses etymologyEtymologically derived through Middle English from the Latin Latin conjugation#Principal parts for the active voicesecond-type conjugation verb !"stŭdērĕ&q uot;,? which meaning#linguistic approachesmeans "to direct one's zeal at"; hence a student is one who directs zeal at a subject. Also known as a disciple in the sense of a religious area of study,and/or in the sense of a "discipline" of learning. In widest use, ''student'' is used to mean a school or schoolclass attendee. In many countries, the word ''student'' is however reserved for higher education or university students; persons attending classes in primary or secondary schools being called pupils.Currently, many children and teenagers are subject to compulsory education: by law they are required to attend some form of school. Laws vary from nationcountry to country, but most students are allowed to abandon their education when they reach the legal age of consent.Researchers, educators, and education administrators around the world are increasingly heeding youth voicestudent voice, a common reference to the experiences, opinions, ideas, and actions of children and youth in schools. This practice provides authenticity and efficacy for school improvement efforts.November 17 is the International Students' Day, which commemorates those students killed at the beginning of World War II who called for peace; specifically, the date was chosen as a memory to Jan Opletal, and events following his death.
Years - In the USA, where undergraduate degree courses commonly last four years, the following terms are generally used, sometimes also adopted in other countries : A freshman (or frosh, newbie etc.) is a first-year student in college or university, or, chiefly in the United States, in high school. (This word came from England, replaced there since by the term "fresher", but is now used far more frequently in U.S. English.) A growing number of people prefer the term "freshmore" as a gender-neutral alternative.In many traditions (though less nowadays in some countries) there is a remainder of the ancient (boarding, pre-commuting) tradition of fagging, he or she may be subjected to a period of hazing as a pledge or rookie, especially if joining a fraternity/sorority or certain other clubs, mainly athletic teams. Even after that, specific rules may apply depending on the school's traditions (e.g. wearing a distinctive beanie), non-observance of which can be punished, even by a paddle lineA sophomore is a second-year student. Etymologically, the word means 'wise fool'; consequently sophomoric means "pretentious, bombastic, inflated in style or manner; immature, crude, superficial" (according to the Oxford English Dictionary). Coming from the Greek ''sophos'', meaning "wise", and ''moros'' meaning "foolish". Also thought to be a portmanteau of sophisticated and moron.A junior is a student in the third year of high school or college.A senior is a student in the fourth and (usually) last year at a high school, college, or university. A student taking more than four years to graduate from college is sometimes referred to as a super senior.The term middler is used to describe a third-year student of a school (generally college) which offers five years of study. In this situation, the fourth and fifth years would be referred to as "junior" and "senior" years, respectively. The United States military academies do not use these terms. In order from first year to fourth year, students in these institutions are officially referred to as fourth-class, third-class, second-class, and first-class cadets or midshipmen.''Freshman'' and ''sophomore'' are sometimes used figuratively, mainly in US English usage, to refer for example to a first or second effort ("the singer's ''freshman'' album"), or to a politician's first or second term in office ("sophomore senator") or an athlete's first or second year on a professional sports team. ''Junior'' and ''senior'' aren't used in this figurative way to refer to third and fourth years or efforts, because of those words' broader meanings of 'younger' and 'older'. (A junior senator is therefore not one who is in his or her third term of office, but rather merely one who has not been in the Senate as long as the other senator from his or her state.)At universities in the United Kingdom the term ''fresher'' is used to describe new students. Unlike the American term ''freshman'' it sometimes only applies in the first few months of a student's first year; the North American equivalent would be ''frosh'' (in singular and plural).Although ''freshman'' has not been as touched by political correctness as other words (such as ''chairman''), some have begun calling first-year students ''freshpersons'', and some colleges prefer the British ''"freshers."''
