Calypsophia azrael the reaper You heard me, what is it that decides whether a person is educated or not. um, generally if they've finished school and perhaps went to college then they're considered educated. smile to be educated logically means to have an education. or did you really mean to imply 'intelligence'?
I think he meant principals and personal values, among with manners, an educated person is not necessarily someone that went to college but someone that has the tools to developed in society and don't take advantage of them, a mix of personal values, principals and manners(in some places you still have to be white to be educated, even you have a Harvard degree).

I am Yuu-chan Calypsophia azrael the reaper You heard me, what is it that decides whether a person is educated or not. um, generally if they've finished school and perhaps went to college then they're considered educated. smile to be educated logically means to have an education. or did you really mean to imply 'intelligence'? I think he meant principals and personal values, among with manners, an educated person is not necessarily someone that went to college but someone that has the tools to developed in society and don't take advantage of them, a mix of personal values, principals and manners(in some places you still have to be white to be educated, even you have a Harvard degree).
ok manners perhaps (and grammar and enunciation), but one that has personal principals and values need not have been formally educated. since he didnt specify anything other than 'what does it mean to be an educated person' that's what I attempted to answer. I didnt say or mean to imply that one needs to go to college to be considered educated, but at least complete a certain level of schooling (be it institutional schooling or homeschooling). hell I didnt go to college, but I consider myself to be an educated person, and at least finished high school. one could even educate themselves if they have the inclination to. so, to be educated is to have received some form of schooling.
the American Heritage Dictionary defines 'educated' as: 1. Having an education, especially one above the average. 2a. Showing evidence of schooling, training, or experience. b. Having or exhibiting cultivation; cultured: an educated manner. 3. Based on a certain amount of experience or factual knowledge

educated... well I can safely say that i agree in that there is no final answer, however i dont believe that simply having a degree ( be it from hogwarts or harvards ) makes you educated, it quite possibly makes you knowledgeble...
I base this on my own experiences thruout my teens and early 20's, i only have the most basic education (1-9th grade), by american standards i had an average of something like a b+, but lets face it, the first 9 years of school is utterly pointless when it comes to the question of education, reading/writing and math are but bare neccesities. now in my years of cutting loose ( read smoking weed and drinking everyday ) i often ( not surprisingly ) ran across people who thought of me as an imbecile due to my lack of degrees, job and home... well it just so happens that to this day i still havent had a conversation in which i wasnt superior to the one trying to lecture me... I've shot down psycology students that went to universities, philosofi students and even showed off a few politicians about whatever subject they bring up... My general knowledge of history, culture, religion and litterature surpasses the ones that tried to discuss such things with me and so far i havent failed at making happy people "realize" the wrongs of the world ( even accidently broke a few down into depression ). the only thing i've done to obtain this knowledge is paying a bit of attention whenever something of value is mentioned in movies and comics.. almost All of my education comes from fictional stories and as such i dont think there is such a thing as "being educated" its all about how good you are at BS'ing others or how smart you can make yourself sound... im dumb as a doornail but havent had to back down from a discussion yet ^^

I think you have a point there, after all people that is known as educated usually look educated even if they arent educated, and most educated people usually dont care about this, so we have a problem, educated people dont care about show education while other do the impossible to recognized as educated, I think we all know that nobody needs a recognition to do something, well except a doctor... or a policeman... well you got my point
