[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rankings aside, we have neighbors with three kids who went to, respectively, Yale, Dartmouth and Tufts.  The parents think Tufts offered the best education.  [/quote]

Did the parents attend classes with the kids?[/quote]

Ha!  I doubt it, but they're certainly aware of how the school contributed to their child's development.  As the parent of three students who are now in college and grad school, I'm in a good position to assess how they've benefited from the teaching, curriculum, research opportunities, and extracurricular activities.

Such absolute and unadulterated hogwash.  Even if you really are "in a good position to assess how they've benefitted," which you likely aren't, you still can't assess what was "offered."

I've had four kids go to four different colleges.  They're all doing well.  I couldn't tell you a thing about their education other than what schools they went to.

Parents are sooo weird.[/quote]

Wow, you sound like a tragically uninvolved parent.

Who do your kids talk about if they are excited about a course, or stressing over an assignment or flattered by what their advisor said?

I talk to my DC once each week. We share our news and how we are doing. It us called a close relationship.

Sorry that you don’t have that in your family.[/quote]
