[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended Harvard and was educated primarily by TAs until senior year. No thanks.[/quote]

Yet if you could get your kid in you’d send them in a heartbeat.  Who are you kidding?[/quote]

Actually I am a tenured professor who is quite invested in quality education, but thanks for playing. Sorry you didn't attend an Ivy and can't tell the difference between undergraduate vs. graduate.[/quote]

Yes, one of the interesting features of the ant-SLAC posters is that they don’t seem to have much knowledge of education and particularly undergraduate versus graduate education. [/quote]

Agreed, they're very...limited in their thought processes and would certainly benefit from the engaged teaching and critical thinking skills SLACs offer.[/quote]

Wow You folks really drink the LAC Kool-Aid.

So you believe that those who don't worship LACs are "limited in their thought process" and that LACs have a monopoly on "engaged teaching and critical thinking skills" ?

My impression of the ardent LAC advocates on this thread is that their posts make them appear arrogant and closed-minded suggesting that LACs are "small schools for the small-minded".

There, SLAC fanatics, I have come down to your level.[/quote]

No one here “worships” LACs, we are just trying to open your closed mind to the fact that  many are great schools where a kid can get an excellent education. A great education can also be had at a large national university. It’s not a zero sum game. [/quote]
