'it's wrong' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'note when one sees nothing in basic education' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'when one sees nothing' becomes 'o' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'basic education' becomes 'rrr' (the three R's - reading, writing and arithmetic).
'o' going inside 'rrr' is 'rror'.
'e'+'rror'='ERROR'
