Can intelligence exist without formal education? Some people would argue that intelligence comes with formal education.
My view is that natural human intelligence gave birth to formal education and not the other way round. Formal education on the other hand, dilutes and somewhat corrupts intelligence.
Many people would contest this view though, and this is the place to do just that.
Agree or disagree, and give reasons.
