So called “Top universities”
Today I received an email bearing the subject line Usha- a distressed parent from Usha Ganugapati which made me wince:
What are these so called ‘Top universities’ made up of?
For name sake these are among the top lined up universities!!
The teaching there -Nil
Marking- exteremely difficult which puts down the average GPA of a student. Students who are A graders in the schools and other colleges score a C- !!
If there is some teaching its tolerable
Just subjecting stuents to immnese stress and marking hard does not make them Good universities U . Toronto, Cornell Univerisity, Harward etc
They contribute nothing to the betterment of the student
Its the students who bring up the univerisity and not the staff or the teachers!!
To me it sounds like someone’s kid didn’t get accepted into any Universities, and now the parental units are disappointed. Of course to them, their kid is perfect, so clearly all “top universities” must be somehow defective. Or perhaps the kid was an existing student who got expelled–who knows.
The point of this email–that Universities are all worthless–is worth refuting. Good schools, even mediocre ones, install valuable training and lessons. Education is priceless. If you must request a quantitative measure of that, simply correlate salaries with educational experience and you will see that the real world values learning.
