Dean Dad’s response to the USNWR rankings strikes me as honest:
Ranking schemes like this invariably lead to a two-track response; I know they’re flawed, but I want to do well on them, anyway.
Whew! I’m glad someone acknowledged that. Hate the flaws in the competition; need to engage in it.
(I’ve been tacit blogging-wise this week because classes start next week and thanks to a change in K-12 calendars in Florida, I only have one week between when my wonderful children started school and when I start teaching. There have been enough urgent matters that they encroach on my usual dither-brained time for blogging.)
