There are millions upon millions of different types of texts in the world, each of them conveying their own message. You see text everywhere from the time you wake up in the morning until the time you go to sleep at night. Some texts advertise, some express opinions, and some give you directions. There is a difference, however, between educational text and text used for something else.
One text that would obviously be educational is text books. When you take a class in high school or college there is almost always a text book that the class uses. This form of text is educational because it is helps students learn more from that class. A second example of educational text would be street signs. If you drive then you read street signs everyday. How much can you really learn from a street sign? Well you can learn the correct directions to go. Without street signs all of the connecting streets would be unorganized making traveling a much more difficult thing to do.
There are also forms of text that are not educational. When you read the brand of someone's clothing on their shirt you do learn what type of clothing they wear, but it's hardly educational. A second form of text that really isn't educational is text messaging on cell phones. This form of text is usually used to communicate with family or friends. While you may learn new things when you read a particular text message you are technically learning that from the person who sent you the message, not the actual text message itself.
There is an abundance of text in the world and a majority of it may be educational, but there is some text that is not.
