The intended answer is close to students and artists, and also the reason why this puzzle inspired by not an entry of Fortnightly Topic Challenge #41 : Short and Sweet

Did you know that
Milk comes from cows

Yes, that totally justifies the 'knowledge' tag. Moreover
Water is H2O.
From there
Remove 'H2O' from 'School' because they don't bring water anymore and you get 'scl'. Students rather bring milk, so replace 'H2O' by 'cow' into school and you get 'sccowl'. If you have seen it once, you don't need to see it twice, so you can as well remove the redundant 'c'.
Hence the answer:
scowl
And
A child scowling is short, but shouldn't be sweet (unless she is really too cute when she scowls).

I think that the answer is:

because the milk not kept in the fridge will go off and become sour
which explains the title as well - not sweet

Because if the children take more milk to the school the family will need more milk. So the Milkman has to come way more often to the families while both the children (school) and the father (work) are away. Which in the end results in many more born babies. And with the title babies are short and shouldn´t be sweet (but they are).

I believe the answer is

Because
Rather than "watering down" the knowledge, they "milk it".

Another try:
Latte
because (Thanks to @Jannis)
Milk in coffee is called latte (American students prefer a latte) Original a latte shouldn't be sweet but in America most Latte's are sweet drinks.

Partial answer?
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with coffee and keep coming back to crema somehow... Maybe because the word contains MA (Master of Arts). And I'm not sure about this, but I think it's also a term for an Americano with milk? All the other clues seem to point to coffeeespresso, anyway (a short drink? shouldn't be sweet? and a link to the Meta post that mentions coffee?) but nothing is falling neatly into place so far. :( Hope this helps someone find the real answer!
Another farfetched solution was:
allas [as in All A's (students) which sounds like au-lait's (with milk)], but that doesn't really work.

Yes, that totally justifies the 'knowledge' tag. Moreover
Water is H2O.
From there
Remove 'H2O' from 'School' because they don't bring water anymore and you get 'scl'. Students rather bring milk, so replace 'H2O' by 'cow' into school and you get 'sccowl'. If you have seen it once, you don't need to see it twice, so you can as well remove the redundant 'c'.
Hence the answer:
scowl
And
A child scowling is short, but shouldn't be sweet (unless she is really too cute when she scowls).

Because if the children take more milk to the school the family will need more milk. So the Milkman has to come way more often to the families while both the children (school) and the father (work) are away. Which in the end results in many more born babies. And with the title babies are short and shouldn´t be sweet (but they are).

because (Thanks to @Jannis)
Milk in coffee is called latte (American students prefer a latte) Original a latte shouldn't be sweet but in America most Latte's are sweet drinks.

Partial answer?
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with coffee and keep coming back to crema somehow... Maybe because the word contains MA (Master of Arts). And I'm not sure about this, but I think it's also a term for an Americano with milk? All the other clues seem to point to coffeeespresso, anyway (a short drink? shouldn't be sweet? and a link to the Meta post that mentions coffee?) but nothing is falling neatly into place so far. :( Hope this helps someone find the real answer!
Another farfetched solution was:
allas [as in All A's (students) which sounds like au-lait's (with milk)], but that doesn't really work.
