[quote=Anonymous]I can only share this anecdotal story...a friend who went to a prestigious high school and a top tier undergrad and grad school, though not Ivy top tier, and is currently teaching at what they would even call a 4th tier public university. 1) people who are on the big schools and Ivy are under heavy pressure to publish and have strong research grants etc, so for them, the time it takes to teach undermines their revenue for themselves and the university and 2) the people who are teaching at these lower tier schools actually like to, you know, teach, and derive professional satisfaction from imparting knowledge on young minds. In many circumstances, the quality of the actual teaching by professors at lower tier schools is actually much better than the distant professors and their grad students at the top level institutions.
