I'm not sure I understand why [[:Category:Education|]] is a subcategory of [[:Category:Academia|]]. As far as I can intuit, common usage and the dictionary suggest that neither one is entirely inclusive of the other: "academia" does not usually include primary or secondary education, and "education" does not usually include scholarship or research. Further, it seems as though there are a lot of articles currently in Education that bear exclusively and specifically on the university (e.g. Graduate student, etc.) and would more properly be placed in Academia (which, it seems to me, is the proper place for articles on Tenure, University, Professor, etc.). Am I missing something, or could this category scheme use some rethinking? -- Rbellin 21:03, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
