[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I come from a rankings-obsessed circle. My kid got into “elite” schools (Williams, etc.), my spouse attended a T5, and I went to a T15. And I will never, ever understand people’s need to denigrate schools like Juniata.

I absolutely love schools like this. They are special. They give a lot of personalized attention to kids who are brimming with potential, helping them discover their path with the full support of a close community. If I were to teach, it would be at a place like this.

I don’t know anyone who attends/attended Juniata, but I’ve enjoyed learning about it, and I appreciate posters who shared their experiences — especially when it was all but guaranteed that some weirdo was would come out of the woodwork and insult them. (Again: why?)

And for the record, if I had to choose between spending my days with the folks who posted helpfully and in good faith, or the person who juuuust can’t help but scratch that itch to insult…well, I know which I’d choose.[/quote]

Fair enough, but let’s be honest: If I hadn’t dropped in the rank background and said only the stuff about loving these sorts of schools, somebody would insist it was a cope. (Exhibit A: the person upthread who insisted that the happy Juniata parent was merely trying to convince themselves that they were happy).

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t around here. Stay gold, DCUM. [/quote]
