Having a piece of paper which says you've been through a university  doesn't equate with being educated - as this guy demonstrates. Making a generalisation like that is not acceptable even at pre-university level.

It's also arrogance and ignorance on his part to presume that quality of teaching is defined by the courses a person has taken. Good teaching depends far more on things like commitment, life experience, personality and communication ability.

He himself is demonstrating a lack of real education and when he pontificates like that he should be regarded as a waste of space.

Mark Twain is supposed to have said, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

Some people have to look down their nose in order to feel superior.  My mama told me you can't throw dirt without losing ground.  DDK

I'll never forget when I was a sophomore in the academy I attended in high school (yes, most of the south screams bigotry) my algebra teacher actually said, "If anyone can catch on to this statement, no work today.  The statement he allowed was, "Two things I hate, bigots, and N.....rs on the beaches."  I immediately piped up.  Of course I got it correct and then, I slammed him for what he said.  Yes, I was in an Academy, but it was only because the public schools were more or less black.  It wasn't a fraction black, but black.  But, if I'd been male, my Dad said I'd been there.  I can understand that.  But, he was paying a premium for me to attend an academy that let things like this happen?  Nope, he was furious, and we moved for my senior year back to my home town where I graduated with all my friends I'd grown up with. I was actually one of the bussed students to a black school during integration in my hometown.  It went like clockwork.  I feel at times, the south is misrepresented.  But, I don't have to defend myself as far as bigotry.  My work place is 90 percent blacks, and they are awesome and dependable and make my life easier.

Kitt, there seems to be a elitist movement going on so people can justify making excessive incomes, explains their unconscionable antics or allowing them to dump on others by blaming those in dire straights that it is all their fault.  It makes them feel better about themselves and they don't need to show any empathy or concern for anyone else. 

My mother-in-law is the same way.  She's always put down my husband for not going to college, while her other son did.  Of course, my husband now makes six figures and is high demand, because of his tech skills and is actually better off than his brother is.  For her, it seems like it is all about the degree on the wall.  I just want to roll my eyes at her every time she mentions it--and it seems like she does every time we see her, which fortunately, isn't that often. 

It shouldn't matter if you have a degree on the wall to be a good person.
