"Student"

Before I left for class today, my four year old son sat on the floor and asked, "Mommy, why do you have to go to school? Your a teacher, not a student!" I don't know why I found it hard to answer him, but I stumbled on an explanation, using phrases like, "life long learner." He doesn't understand what that means. In his frame of reference, students are kids, like himself. Thanks to Bette, I now have a response.....

"The word student means learner."
