There are many other methods to becoming educated besides the traditional institutional schooling, and all it takes to achieve it is ones own desire and motivation to learn. Perhaps, the best way to learn is by teaching yourself, because in this way, you are able to focus more on things that matter to you and study things that are relevant to your interests, without being confined to the limitations of forced institutional methods. James Marcus Bach’s vision of a “Buccanner Scholar”, is a successful example of this notion and is embodied by the historical figure Malcolm X, as Malcolm X’s own desire to learn ultimately resulted in his achievement of becoming an educated person.
