<p>Well mine are mostly in departments that are top 10 nationally. Of the other three, one goes to like the best high school in the world and the other goes to a school in New Jersey. No idea about the last guy.</p>
<p>But even my high school in teh crappy LAUSD had a teacher with a PhD from Berkeley, so I don’t see how it would be that uncommon.</p>
<p>Most of the teachers at my school went to the okay state college that’s only about ~25 minutes away (Not gonna say which one because then people can tell where I live.) One went to Stanford, some went to Chico State.</p>

No they are definitely talking about where their high school teachers went to college so way to make yourself look like a dumbass.</p>
<p>Only the teachers whom I remember colleges of.</p>

<p>Subject: French
College: University of Paris
Well-liked: No, not at all. He’s an old, pompous French man.</p>
<p>Ehh I can’t really remember the colleges, but most are from local, not prestigious at all schools. At our school, the only “notable” degrees are one from Berkeley and one from USC. Pitzer College is also up there.</p>
<p>Okay, let’s ask them.</p>
<p>TheYankInLondon and ThisCouldBeHeavn, were you talking about HS or College?</p>
<p>I was talking about college. TheYankInLondon is in high school.</p>
<p>Oh, hmmm… Okay. Does he go to private school then?</p>
<p>I think it’s technically a public school. The school system in England is very different.</p>
<p>Most of my teachers got their degrees from the local state school, SUNY New Paltz. Others got it from SUNY Maritime or a few other SUNY’s.</p>
<p>I don’t know of most of my teachers, except my english teacher who got a BA at Brown and an MA at Harvard (we make fun of her in class :P).</p>
<p>wow, lots of teachers from great schools, harvard & brown in the post above me.</p>
<p>I have no teachers who went to any prestigious schools, mostly low cal states and unknown privates</p>
<p>I find it very interesting that there is no real correlation between prestigious degrees and <em>good</em> teachers; many posters indicated that teachers with Ivy league degrees were not necessarily the most-liked or even the best at their job!</p>
<p>It’s also fairly apparent- also interestingly- where a poster attends school based on their teachers’ alma maters. I suppose Americans stick to their home state?</p>
<p>I’m not sure about anyone else, but I know that teachers, for me, have been both a wonderful highlight and a terrible blemish on my high school career. I always try to appreciate the good ones!</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone, for responding!</p>
