In his October 5, 2023 blog, Renewing Classical Education, Christopher Perrin discusses the implications of the words that we use to describe what we do in schools. He suggests that using some older words would contribute to a better sense of the underlying unity of God's creation that is studied. Instead of subject, section & period, we could consider discipline, form, course, session, seminar, symposium, and a host of other words rarely considered in the K-12 world. Words do make a difference so this might be one of the least expensive ways to introduce a new perspective in any school, not just classical schools.
