learn, educate

While we may complain that we're better off without our current education system, lack of it has been cited as the primary reason for poverty and social ills.
Maybe we ungrateful ones should trade places with those who are desperate for it, hmm?

Plus, these days, I find it harder and harder to differentiate between the educated (or perhaps ill-educated) and the uneducated, and more often than not, the latter could've been easily thought to be the former if one were to judge based on attitude and manner.

No, the second paragraph is not an argument against education. If we were to recognize that being a teacher does not imply that one has learned all that is necessary, but should still strive to gather knowledge, shouldn't it be obvious that a bad student cannot make a good teacher?
