Article: Misguided in Countless Ways
by: Dodge Johnson
"Last week, U.S. News and World Report released its annual rankings of American colleges and universities, which are always an occasion for manufactured anticipation and hoopla. I confess that I wish the rankings would go away - not that this is about to happen anytime soon."
...
"Second, aside from the "reputational survey" - in which college presidents and important others are invited to rank large numbers of colleges (though how would they know?) - the rankings are based on empirical data. And the data that count most are largely related to admissions rather than to the experiences of students after they arrive."
Please read the rest if college issues are of interest to you, it is quite eye-opening.
Hat Tip: hs2coll Yahoo Group
Homeschoolers: I recommend the "hs2coll" and "homeschool2college" Yahoo Groups for information about homeschooling high school and about college admissions for homeschoolers.
