I like a person with a bad character as a car with punctured or flat tire, although the capacity of cars was to run but because of the bad characters (Flat Tires) he or she couldn't in fact the car if it decides to move with be swayed from left to right without control.
This is my own personal depiction of someone with bad characters.
The same with having all the degrees in this world also doesn't make you actually really wise And also it doesn't also translates to having good characters.
You will be amazed at how all those people who haven't gone to school live in actual harmony with their neighbours unlike the well literate people.
It is no strange thing that often marriages from two literate people usually ends up in divorce and brutal behaviours, unlike the ones that wasn't so literate.
I sometimes wonder, does over exposure to knowledge make one very stupid or make one wiser.
Many a time, when we look at the lives of some of our grandfathers, and oldies, you will realise a lot of peace And quiet in people during those old days.
These days we see people with series of issues, starting from their homes to church of God, down to their work place.
People who are educated sometimes get very annoyed at anything, their egos is always up the roof, with no one to control them.

**Does literacy make a better parenting?**

To my understanding, being a literate parent can actually make the child smarter and wise. The literate Parents would actually value education and want to invest their kids time into, they can go all the way, using their resources and Money to sponsor their kids to Schools.
But on the other hand, an illiterate parent, might not really value education, they might believe in business instead or Handwork or skills and crafts acquisition. For me I honestly don't see anything wrong in learning skills, going to the farms of being business oriented.
The bitter truth is that, in Nigeria Most of the Billionaires and Millionaires are majorly people that didn't graduate from school or complete the University but due to early introduction to business, they were able to make their way to the top, it's not a rocket science: Every person should truly have one skill , they also need to be business management.
What about raising up the kids: I think for people who are literate: parenting in regards of raising up the kids might not be as effective as the illiterate, this is because the literate parent might not want to flog or punish their children whenever they did wrong, they might want to use linient method to enforce punishment, but to the illiterate, they use stricter and strong approach, so as to keep the children from misbehaving. They flog, give some punishment and make sure the children gets sober and truly feel sorry for his crime.
