<p>I didn’t say that knowing a second language -> being educated.</p>
<p>I said NOT knowing a second language -> not being educated.
(formal logic training coming through…)</p>
<p>I’m willing to argue that that may not be the case - like I said, it’s my own prejudice, based on the value that travel and a second language have brought to my life. </p>
<p>All these are opinions. I’m 47 with degrees in mathematics and French, and I have lived, studied, and worked abroad. I now teach high school, and have taught various subjects, and I’m still learning all the time. Knowing a second language, and using it, (including the travel) has opened my world more than the majority of stuff I learned in college. The logic from the math training was very important, too.</p>
