[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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. [/b]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]

So it's good for kids who can't handle life and need mommy and daddy stand ins. [/quote]

See, and that’s why I like the good faith posters. This just isn’t a good faith response. [/quote]

Right? I like smaller schools for my child. She needs some extra support while gaining independence/spreading her wings. Call it mommy and daddy stand ins if you must. Not everyone matures at the same pace.

I attended one of those higher level academic schools, but it was a very self contained campus and a bit of a cocoon, with only 3600 students at the time. I managed to graduate and move out on my own at 21. It doesn't hurt to have that buffer between mom and dad's house and real life. It doesn't mean you're a loser in any way. It's just a soft landing between those stages in life.[/quote]
