People keep saying this but I got a PhD at an ivy league school and both sat in a couple classes with undergrads and taught a couple classes to undergrads. There is a sizable minority of absolute buffoons in ivy league undergrad programs. And it's not the athletes [/quote]

And you should listen to some of these ivy students carry on about the doctoral candidate TAs tasked with doing some of the instructional work.   They are less than impressed.

It a college full of young adults folks.  Bright folks but there are definitely a bunch of idiots there as well.[/quote]

Well, most doctoral candidates don't even want to teach and 80% of them are nonnative speakers in technical fields (and even some non-technical fields)[/quote]Maybe you weren’t a good teacher. We had a music Ph.D. student teaching our required music appreciation course. He was obviously bored and didn’t want to be there. He was a buffoon. [/quote]
