Just like anything else, education takes WORK. It takes time and money, too, but mostly it takes work. It also changes the way a person thinks--- education MAKES people think about more than just the obvious in any problem. Years ago, I worked as a communications field engineer. Back then, there were two kinds of technical maintenance people. The ones with minimal education repaired equipment by memory--- if they had seen that piece fail, they would try to fix it by replacing the same parts they replaced the last time. Since electronic equipment, like anything else tends to fail at the same design flaws in equipment, that worked for 60-75% of whatever they worked on. After they replaced the parts they remembered had failed before, however, they were lost if that did not work. The people who UNDERSTOOD the circuitry were always more educated. THOSE people could repair ANYTHING, if they had a schematic and parts diagram. The difference was education.
All of life is like that. Usually, educated people are not talking down to you; they're trying to teach you.
Oh, yeah--- sometimes a person might need more education themselves to understand what,s being explained. Complex problems almost never have simple solutions. Often clueless people can not even recognize that something IS a complex problem: look at the rightys and the economy!
