Little would he know that they can all play very well. Readers of school rankings might be similarly misled. Those choosing a school might be wrongly influenced to pursue some other career. So keep in mind that educational programs do not need to defeat other programs to be winners. Approved schools, just like NBA players, can all play the game.
Education has many winners.
The effect of ranking schools like olympic divers may be to cause readers to forget that unlike games, which use losing as a concept to give them meaning, educational programs do not need to defeat other programs to be winners. Do your homework. To determine which school should be tops on your list, read what you can about all the schools under consideration. Look for information on internet web sites and in libraries. More important, visit the schools.
