Does The Ivy League Make You Dumber?

According to this study, students at many Ivy League universities graduate with “negative learning” when it comes to American history and civics. 

In non-academic speak… they’re dumber coming out than they are going in.  You’d think for $46,000 a year (the cost of attending Johns Hopkins University) they’d teach the students the basics.

    I got the best education from a City University. The worst from a private university that charged a whole lot of money, yet always lacked the proper equipment with which to teach. Needless to say, I left that private university. So…for $2500 a semester at a City University, I got an education that was more satisfying than part of one I almost got from a private university charging $9,000 a semester. So really, which one would you consider to be the “Mickey Mouse” college?

    Mot me, necessarily. Most of what I know has been beat into me by life in general.

    As compared to let’s say the college basketball leagues who have a 9% graduation rate. What does that tell you?
