In my day, if you were at school you were a pupil. You became a student when you went to university. However, nowadays kids at school seem to be called students too. Being at school was always considered work. We were given course work, school work, home work, woodwork, metalwork, you name it. It was all work. Work, work, work. We even had an ethic for it.
