I don't know if I agree with that statement but I guess it depends on what your definition of "smart" is. Someone can lack education but be pretty mentally sharp in some cognitive tasks regardless.

I don't think our two statements are mutually exclusive. There's certainly a difference between education and being smart.

EDIT: if you disagree, what is someone smart before they get into school? Not smart? In countries where they don't have formal education systems, is nobody intelligent over there?

Is someone who went to school for 10 years automatically considered smart? That would mean that more school equals more smart. How about somebody who got held back and had to repeat a grade six times? Are they extra smart then? How about those that did so well in school that they skipped a grade? Are they not smart then?

Your logic doesn't hold up, random disagreeing people. There is absolutely a difference between education and being smart.

There is absolutely a difference between education and being smart.

These statements aren't in disagreement, but accusing "street smart" people of actually being stupid is contradicted by the first one
