Politicalprof: True Love →
politicalprof:
True love. Is it normal is it serious, is it practical? What does the world get from two people who exist in a world of their own? Placed on the same pedestal for no good reason, drawn randomly from millions but convinced it had to happen this way – in reward for what? For nothing. The light…

The disadvantages of an elite education →
An elite education not only ushers you into the upper classes; it trains you for the life you will lead once you get there. I didn’t understand this until I began comparing my experience, and even more, my students’ experience, with the experience of a friend of mine who went to Cleveland State. There are due dates and attendance requirements at places like Yale, but no one takes them very...

…the instant you open your eyes in the morning you realize exactly what you did wrong in your data entry. You are both happy to have figured it out (thanks subconscious!) and sad because you now have to go find the survey forms and match the gender variable up with each response item and you have no idea what you’re doing and the data is due in 5…4.75 hours.

“This is better,” Conrad recounted in the student lounge of the bustling downtown campus one recent day. “The teachers really do hands-on kinds of things.” Conrad also has a job while she studies, organizing events for the Hudson’s Bay Co. department-store chain.
