Not only can you brag about it, but an elite education is simply better.

That is something ingrained in your head. But did you actually attend both Ivy and public schools? How do you know which is better? How do you measure this? You are simply pulling this out of your ass.
Yes bragging about your kids is douchy and yes there are a lot of d-bag parents. Fact is nobody gives a shit about your kids, nor are they impressed in the least if your kids go to Ivy league school or not. Also be aware that nobody wants to hear your kids play piano either.[/quote]
the way schools are ranked in USnews and world report, at least in law schols, is kind of insane. it has nothing to do with how good a teacher the teacher is, or their experience. professor status is based almost entirely on publications, articles on obscure topics in student run law review publications that virtually no one reads or cares about….but which are limited in space and therefore extremely competitive to get published in…
and so profs spend all theri time getting published, because there is no career upside to actually teaching anything or giving a crap about students…unless they just happen t like teaching…for fun…like a hobby..
it is pure status. the curriculum is often very similar…the competition is fiercer…but…its primarily a status game…its better because…we say its better…
