Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy | | English term or phrase: child | I want to know if it's correct to translate in a text for a school for grades k-12 where the word child is constantly repeated.
Is it ok to put hijo o nino?
even though is for children to 12th grade?
I would very much appreciate your expert advice.
Thank you! |
| | | alumnado/estudiantes/alumnos | Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo con la sugerencia de Cindy. En el distrito escolar adonde trabajo se usan las palabras estudiante, estudiantes, alumno, alumnos o "el alumnado" cuando se habla del grupo de estudiantes. Si se tratara de una carta especificamente dirigida a los padres de un alumno en particular, sería mejor escribir "su hijo" o "su hija".

11 mins peer agreement (net): -1
17 mins peer agreement (net): +7 could you say "student" = alumno/estudiante?
Explanation:
I see your dilemma with the age group covered. Maybe you could avoid any age-specific reference (I don't think any 17 or 18-year old would like being called a "niño"..."hijos" means sons or sons and daughters) by referring to them as "alumnos" or "estudiantes," if that fits your context.
Hope it helps.
