Education is more than just a degree or certificate.

While it’s essential not to judge others hastily, certain behaviors or attitudes can often suggest a lack of education or awareness. Here are 18 signs that might suggest a person is poorly educated.

Lucky it had that qualifier at the end

Ignorance About Other Cultures
A well-educated person values diversity and seeks to understand different cultures and viewpoints.
Nonsense...
Being cullturally illiterate doesn't indicate an individual is uneducated... Many of the world's greatest learning institutes were ethnocentric for centuries...
Also, valuing diversity for diversity's sake makes no sense...
quote]Frequent Spelling And Grammar Mistakes
Everyone makes occasional typos, but constant misspellings and poor grammar can indicate a lack of basic language sk**ls.[/quote]
It can also indicate a mind preoccupied by other things... Or a simple in familiarity with the written form of a language...Sort of funny how this point contradicts the first one... I guess diversity in writing isn't a virtue...
Quote:
Disregard For Facts And Evidence
Ignoring factual information or evidence in favor of personal beliefs or biases is a clear sign of poor education.
This has nothing to do with education... Don't believe me??? Talk to a few university teachers or doctors or lawyers or anyone else who has strong views and be amazed at their inability to process factual information that contradicts those views...
Quote:
Difficulty With Critical Thinking
Critical thinking involves the ability to question, analyze, and evaluate information. A lack of these sk**ls may suggest inadequate education.
This assumes that critical thinking is being taught in the first place...
Quote:
Lack Of Interest In Learning
A well-educated person knows that learning is a lifelong process. A disinterest in learning new things could indicate a lack of education.
More nonsense...
Education isn't linear...
Nor is it constant...
In my experience, those who spend enormous amounts of time "learning" are usually the ones with the least ability to think for themselves...
China's education system is tantamount to this phenomenon..
Quote:
Rude And Disrespectful Behavior
Respect for others is a fundamental trait taught in any educational setting. Those who are rude and disrespectful may lack this basic education.
Or perhaps they're just tired of talking to i***ts...
Quote:
Being Uninformed About Current Events
While it’s not necessary to know every news story, a basic awareness of significant current events is a sign of an educated person.
No..It's the sign of a personal interest...
And "current events" has become pretty loosely defined in the age...
Quote:
Believing And Spreading F**e News
Falling for and disseminating misinformation can suggest a lack of critical thinking sk**ls and media literacy.
Chuckle... It's usually educated people making the f**e news😎
Quote:
Not Understanding Basic Scientific Concepts
While not everyone needs to be a scientist, understanding basic scientific principles is part of a general education.
Indeed... Because if you don't understand biology you might find yourself believing men can give birth and breastfeed...
Quote:
A Narrow Worldview
An educated person is usually open to new ideas and different perspectives. A narrow worldview may suggest a lack of education.
Being open to something doesn't necessitate embracing it...
Also, there is no such thing as a "narrow worldview"...
Quote:
Lack Of Empathy For Others
Education often involves learning about other people’s experiences and developing empathy. A lack of empathy may signal a lack of education.
New age mumbo jumbo...
An engineer has no need to empathize with another person to understand his field of expertise...
Empathy is not a virtue...
It's a useful tool to connect people with similar experiences...
Quote:
Unwillingness To Change Opinions
An inability or unwillingness to change one’s opinions when presented with new information can suggest a lack of critical thinking sk**ls.
Yet modern education is built upon the foundation that you don't question what is being taught😂😂😂
Quote:
Poor Financial Literacy
Understanding basic financial concepts is a crucial part of adult life and indicates a level of education.
Financial literacy is a great ability...But has nothing to do with one's level of education...
Quote:
Relying On Stereotypes
Relying on stereotypes to understand others, rather than engaging with them directly, can indicate a lack of education.
Ever wonder where stereotypes come from??? Hint: It involves critical thinking...
Quote:
Difficulty In Understanding Different Viewpoints
An educated person can comprehend and respect viewpoints different from their own, even if they don’t agree with them.
So can uneducated people...
Quote:
Lack Of Awareness About Environmental Issues
A basic understanding of environmental issues is a sign of a well-rounded education.
99.99999% of humans throughout history are now uneducated..
Quote:
Resistance To Technology
In the digital age, being resistant or unable to use technology can suggest a gap in education.
It can also suggest a dislike for machines and the habit/reliance they form...
Quote:
Not Valuing Education
Perhaps the clearest sign of a lack of education is not valuing education itself or failing to understand its importance in personal and societal development.
Chuckle...
I suppose as a teacher I should defend this one... But education is actually a relatively new concept for the masses... Society can survive just fine without it...
Quote:
It’s important to remember that formal education is not the only type of education, and it’s never too late to learn. Education is a lifelong process that involves continually expanding our knowledge, understanding, and sk**ls to better navigate the world. It’s about being open-minded, respectful, and curious about the world and its diverse inhabitants.
Finally something I agree with...
