Education Dilemas
Okay..simple question:What's the definition of a person being well educated? Does that mean he has a degree from some ivy league college? Or that he's a computer whiz? Or how about if he was the valedictorian in his school?
Is a college drop out considered educated? He DID finish high school didn't he? And supposedly all basic knowledge has been solidified by that stage.
Okay..so another question:
What do you say to a person who has learned how to fix cars simply by watching another person do it? He's managed to open a shop, decently earns and manages to support his family BUT maybe's (and stress on the MAYBE) has finishes say 5th grade? Would you consider him educated (only if in the field of automobiles)?
Keep in mind, I'm by far saying that a basic formal education is useless..EVERYONE needs it, and DESERVES it. There're A LOT of people in the world like that. Who have managed to carve out a life for themselves without having any 'formal education'. This post is simply giving them a round of applause.
No picture this time..didn't take a camera..next time definately.
