Curriculum
from Modern Latin transferred use of classical Latin curriculum "a running, course, career" (also "a fast chariot, racing car"), from currere (see current (adj.)). Used in English as a Latin word since 1630s at Scottish universities.
Think of curriculum as the route of a race or as the hitch that binds a team of horses.
If you are trying to set a course for a throng of people running a marathon or yoke the strength of a team of horses and plow a field, curricula are great.
If you are interested in the flourishing of a child, curricula are not the answer.
