The Dr in front of someone's name doesn't always prove anything. They could easily have their doctorate in something like women's studies or some other useless field.

There are lots of highly educated people with little intelligence or common sense. That has always been true.

Minecraft: Education Edition is a fun way to engage children in learning. Like https://essay-reviewer.com/writemyessay-help-review/, the software is a game that promotes learning. Many learning courses are available in the app, including arithmetic, literature, history, chemistry, biology, computer science, and many more subjects.

Yes, it's true. Having a degree and Diploma doesn't mean that a person is educated. There are institutions where getting a Diploma is not that hard. And also, being an educated person is not only about formal educational achievements

Nothing like a decade of higher education to prepare you for the real world...

DC is packed with people who fast-tracked to a lucrative job via an Ivy League degree. Personally I would rather be governed by grads solely from Wichita State.

William F Buckley said it better:

"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University."

It's the same idea, though.

Wolf has a BA from Yale, and DPhil from Oxford, places not exactly known for tossing out degrees just for showing up. One can be smart, well educated, and simultaneously wacked out crazy. What Dr. Wolf's education allows her is the ability to construct a nicely formulated sentence which may also be incomprehensibly wrong. I remember hearing a TV interview many years ago of a renowned Shakespearean actor who was utterly wasted, but you couldn't tell it. Every word out of his mouth was perfectly uttered and made no sense. The listeners thought we were losing our minds. Her writings remind me of that.
