To be educated means many things - in both what we know and what we do. We must always be curious and ready to expand our knowledge. I believe that the more we know, the more we realize we don't know. To be educucated does not mean we know everything; it is having the attitude of a lifelong learner stemming from our realization that our world is vast and new discoveries can be made every day. Furthermore, the educated person is not afraid to make mistakes. They are able to exercise creativity and discover more in that way.
Being educated means being open to others and having the ability to see things from different perspectives. They are well-spoken and are not afraid to share their wealth of knowledge but at the same time, they are able to listen and respect to the opinions of others whether they agree or not.
To illustrate this, our group has come up with this creative representation.
Yes, being open-minded - to new ideas, to learning from mistakes - is so important. Where do you see math fitting in?
