[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids at school (and some teachers), as a slight paraphrase: “Columbia of course. It’s more prestigious. Nobody has heard of Pomona.” Kid: “Everyone except for you (parents) think Columbia is more prestigious.” Response?[/quote] My response is, who cares? Does the student want the Columbia/NYC experience? If not, the prestige alone won't make a good experience.[/quote] NYC experience, yes. Common Core for 1/2 the classes freshman and sophomore year (and 1/4 of classes junior year), no. Not sure the former can (or should) outweigh the latter. [/quote] Either way, the slight difference in prestige is irrelevant.[/quote] Oh, I agree, though I would not say there is [i]any[/i] difference in prestige. The problem is that people often conflate recognition with prestige. DC does this as well — as a high school kid — but adults should know better.[/quote]
