Oops! The censor ain't an intellectual. Someone said,"The most over rated things in life are Coitus, Motherhood and Johns Hopkins!" I didn't go to Curtis, I adopted and Johns Hopkins was.......you know.
I think these magazine contests for rating schools are silly. The formula for success is really programmed into the student himself. A kid with joy, love, interest and motivation will make any school better for his being there. Providing, the teachers try as hard as they can to get the best out of him while not turning off the fire.
I used to think that all schools and colleges were basically the same. Having served as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania for 3 years, I am aware that all educational experiences are unique and one would be incorrect to assume that someone else would have the same experiences now or at different times. Cherish the times and opportunities you have, when you have them.
