[quote=Anonymous]I'm looking for only one thing in an international ranking like this: reassurance that my family's fortunes are on an upward trajectory through the generations. Most rankings have my dad's school highest, then my kid's (non-US) school next, then mine lowest of the three (but almost tied with my kid's) -- a tale that I hear as confusingly wobbly. (My mom went to a LAC that never makes these international rankings.) But Time's new ranking puts my school highest, then my dad's, then my kid's -- which is great for my narrow self-regard but tells an even worse tale of family striving. Only one ranking (the NTU ranking) has my kid's school highest (close to the very top, actually), then mine, then my dad's. Since it tells our family story in the way I enjoy hearing it told, that's the ranking I choose to believe. I therefore conclude that Time's ranking is bogus.[/quote]
