In a society where some people are far more educated than others, in which public education is ill-funded - here I am speaking of the U. S. - while we build more and more prisons to incarcerate youth who ought to be in school, there is already a gap between those with education and those without. Those with educational privilege can be seen as arrogant, remote, alien - and very often they believe themselves superior.
Who said I was wise? I’m a professional bad example. You can learn a lot by watching me. Or listening to me. Either one.
