[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The professors at an easy admit school where I grew up really liked teaching.  They went to elite schools themselves because they were passionate about their subject. They teach because they’re passionate about teaching.

This status seeking elitism is so obnoxious. [/quote]

My kids went to a bottom-tier college. They had professors who went to MIT, Yale, etc.

There are not a lot of jobs in academia, and their professors were very nice and supportive and encouraging.

I don't know how they felt about all the kids, but these professors really liked and encouraged my kids, and for that I'm hugely grateful.

FYI, obnoxious elitists, there are lots of REALLY smart kids whose parents never went to college, who don't have a lot of money, who don't know all that much about financial aid and college choices. These kids end up at bottom tier colleges. Thank God for the great professors who do their best for these kids (and for all their students). If the professors dismissed the kids at the bottom tier colleges, they'd be missing out on some really great, smart kids. Two of the graduates in my child's class went to HYP for grad school. From a bottom-tier college. Impressed me. [/quote]
