Primary school drops word school from name as 'too negative'

A new primary school has banned the use of the word "school" in its title because it has "negative connotations". ......Hmmmm, not sure what dictionary they were using, but all I checked were pretty much the same;

A school (from Greek σχολή (scholē), originally meaning "leisure", and also "that in which leisure is employed", "school"),[1] is an institution designed to allow and encourage students (or "pupils") to learn, under the supervision of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools.

Next thing you know we won't be allowed to call the attendees, "Students", because if they are forced to "study" than that would hold a negative connotations as well. This is definately and OMG moment, right up there with not saying "Merry Christmas" to people because you may offend someone and wanting to take "so help me God" out of the Presidential Inaguration.

Watercliffe Meadow primary in Sheffield is to be known as a "place for learning" after governors decided that the traditional description sounded too "institutional".The £6 million "learning experience", which opens on Monday, will also encourage pupils to wear soft shoes indoors and has got rid of the traditional school bell at the end of lessons, in order to make the place more
welcoming."We decided from an early stage we didn't want to use the word 'school', this is Watercliffe Meadow, a place for learning," said Linda Kingdon, the head teacher.

"One reason was many of the parents of the children here had very negative connotations of school.
"Instead we want this to a be a place for family learning, where anyone can come."We were able to start from scratch and create a new type of learning experience.

I really gotta ask this question, "So if there's a fire does everyone just scream at the top of their lungs and run randomly in fifty million directions, since there's no bells or whistles"??
