Tag synonym request: [teaching] -> [education]

Question

We have seperate education and teaching tags.

It seems that teaching with 4 questions, and education with 6 questions are essentially the same.

Also there is the children tag that may factor into this somewhere.

Edit: It seems children are dead, so don't worry about that.

[education] is a more general term than [teaching] (it also includes concepts like learning, mentoring, school administration, testing, and others). So it would probably be better to have [teaching] -> [education], rather than have any question tagged [education] appear with [teaching]. Alternatively, we could add other education-related tags and either keep [education] and [teaching] as separate tags or blacklist [education] (though I do not recommend either of these alternative approaches). As for [children], this concept overlaps education but surely not enough for a tag synonym. — Eliah Kagan, Commented Jun 16, 2012 at 23:09
@ObsessiveFOSS It's a joke. No children were hurt during the process. — jokerdino, Commented Jun 20, 2012 at 5:32

Since you asked so nicely, I went through the teaching tag and retagged the questions as relevant. Now, we shall only have a education tag.

Generally, if there are less than 20 questions in a tag, retagging is preferred. And it was a mere 4 questions anyway. :)
