• What Does It Mean to Be Well-Educated?.
•             No one should offer pronouncements about what it means to be well-educated without meeting my wife. ...
•             So what do you make of this paradox with whom I live?  Is she a walking indictment of the system that let her get so far -- 29 years of schooling, not counting medical residency -- without acquiring the basics of English and math?  Or does she offer an invitation to rethink what it means to be well-educated since what she lacks hasn’t prevented her from being a deep-thinking, high-functioning, multiply credentialed, professionally successful individual?.
•             Of course, if those features describe what it means to be well-educated, then there is no dilemma to be resolved. ...
•    How well-educated am I?.
•   The Point of Schooling:   Rather than attempting to define what it means to be well-educated, should we instead be asking about the purposes of education?  The latter formulation invites us to look beyond academic goals. ...
• Their Education:    Does the phrase well-educated refer to a quality of the schooling you received, or to something about you?  Does it denote what you were taught, or what you learned (and remember)?   If the term applies to what you now know and can do, you could be poorly educated despite having received a top-notch education.   However, if the term refers to the quality of your schooling, then we’d have to conclude that a lot of “well-educated” people sat through lessons that barely registered, or at least are hazy to the point of irrelevance a few years later.
•   An Absence of Consensus:    Is it even possible to agree on a single definition of what every high school student should know or be able to do in order to be considered well-educated?  Is such a definition expected to remain invariant across cultures (with a single standard for the U. ... and Somalia, for example), or even across subcultures (South-Central Los Angeles and Scarsdale; a Louisiana fishing community, the upper East side of Manhattan, and Pennsylvania Dutch country)?  How about across historical eras:  would anyone seriously argue that our criteria for “well-educated” today are exactly the same as those used a century ago – or that they should be?.
•   It is misleading and even dangerous to justify our own pedagogical values by pretending they are grounded in some objective, transcendent Truth, as though the quality of being well-educated is a Platonic form waiting to be discovered. ...
•   Some Poor Definitions:     Should we instead try to stipulate which answers don’t make sense?  I’d argue that certain attributes are either insufficient (possessing them isn’t enough to make one well-educated) or unnecessary (one can be well-educated without possessing them) -- or both. ...
•   Merely sitting in classrooms for x hours doesn’t make one well-educated.
•   It would be a mistake to reduce schooling to vocational preparation, if only because we can easily imagine graduates who are well-prepared for the workplace (or at least for some workplaces) but whom we would not regard as well-educated. ...
•   Familiarity with a list of words, names, books, and ideas is a uniquely poor way to judge who is well-educated. ...
•             Look more carefully at the superficially plausible claim that you must be familiar with, say, King Lear in order to be considered well-educated. ...
