Is it really possible to be too educated?

The fact that being highly educated can sometimes cloud your sense of thoughts, makes it very possible to be too educated. Educators tend to know a lot about the subject that they have specialized in, which then means that they often develop a kind of blindness to other aspects or subjects, which are less well established. Any new area needs to prove itself before it is adopted into a curriculum, which is well before it can be offered to students. Educators also largely work as individuals and adopt new elements and techniques when they see fit (or if forced). Which all means, that if students rely on educational establishments for all their information requirements, that they won’t be up to date. Unfortunately the less questioning students assume that if something isn’t on the curriculum, then it can’t be that important. I’m not against education, but it is essential that educators and the educated remain critical about the contents of the education which is being offered. And it is even more important that we all realize that we will all increasingly learn more and more from the outside world than from educational establishments, which frequently stuggle to keep up with developments. This is particularly relevant for fast thinkers, entrepreneurs, innovators and the creative industry.
