Hello, native English speakers,
What exactly is a schoolchild? Would the word be used in both the U.S. and the U.K.?
According to my dictionaries, it means "a child who goes to school".
Then can it mean a high school student?
I've found the phrase "elementary schoolchildren", but do you ever say "high schoolchildren" instead of "high school students"?
Thanks in advance.
