CAN MONEY BUY EDUCATION?

In order to have a successful middle–class life, most Americans agree
that a person must have at least a four year degree.

To be deemed educated, a person must be in attendance at an institution, where
they pay money, accept the teachings offered by their professors,
repeat back the opinions and lessons of the classroom, participate in
a collegiate culture, and in exchange, receive a diploma.

A person who becomes skilled at seeking lessons directly from the elders in their community, who learns to tap into the resources of a public library,
who embarks on their own life adventures,
who sets about creating their own experiments and challenging and teaching themselves, is considered uneducated, unless a piece of embossed paper is handed
to them while wearing a cardboard hat and oversize dress.
