Off topic!!!

<Furthermore, I can't buy into the notion that our upper level programs are superior vis-a-vis to the rest of the world when the lower levels are not.>

Actually, I have found that this notion is pretty close to the truth. It's generally agreed that American grade schools are not up-to-par with those of other nations. But people from all around the world value a college or graduate education from an American university over anywhere else. And it's not because they want to get a job in America, since there are plenty of international students who go back to their home countries and work there after getting their degrees.

However, I can't really think of a reason why this is so. Perhaps someone who agrees with me could come up with an explanation for me.
