One of the purposes of education is to raise the thinking of the society to a higher level, and thereby benefit the society as a whole. So, in a sense, one purpose of an educator is to raise the level of the "water" rather than letting it sink to its own depth. And, why "water" sinks to its own level is explained in this URL. To lift up rather than to pull down is a noble endeavor.
So, one might be able to draw conclusions about one's place in the tank of learning based on one's swimming commentaries.
Education is a dynamic process rather than a static one. Thereby, it can offend the nature of "water".

Water pressure depends on depth, so only at equal depths of water will the pressure be equal. Consider the U-tube. If water is at rest where each x is, the pressures must be equal -- otherwise a flow would occur from the region of higher to the region of lower pressure until the pressures equalize. For this to happen, the depths below the surfaces must be equal.
but if you're changing the level of your education you must learn how to swim in yourbrand new society too. support new pressures.cruise the waters...( TO ENCOUNTER AND FISTFIGHT AGAINST STUPIDITY EVEN IN A SAUNA)need some physical fitness, too. Be smart, react fast, a.s.o.P.(AND WATER IS SELFLEVELING FOR AN ENTROPY REASON, THE LOWEST LEVEL OF COMMON ENERGY , SO ARE HUMAN SOCIETIES, GENERALLY, SELF-LEVELLING)
