[quote=Anonymous]Here's a thought-provoking article from a former Yale professor about the problem with students at elite colleges and universities, questioning the admissions process and indeed the whole process of raising kids to become "ivy-league worthy," which he thinks turns them into zombies. He advises to send kids to small liberal arts schools to get a better overall education and to derive a real sense of purpose in life. (Superficial summary of the article's thesis -- you'll have to read it to get a better gist.) http://www.newrepublic.com/article/118747/ivy-league-schools-are-overrated-send-your-kids-elsewhere[/quote]
