New from Harvard Extension School

[sanantone]

@sanantone as did you Harvard Grad? how was your time at Harvard Law and Harvard College? Ms. President of Harvard? Is your thesis on using quaternions to treat quadrics? How did you find your time as an MIT trustee? You can't step in his shoes.

I'll be literal here, no I did not say anything about Jeff Bezos. Did I talk about Jeff Bezos? I was talking about Harvard Extension and college education. Jeff Bezos has nothing to do with this, please keep the context relevant.

The man had vision and started something that blossomed into a glorious tree. It started by him planting the acorn (granting associates) and now it's a mighty oak tree (Harvard grants masters).

HES built on what he started. He planted the seeds and he planted a tree for Americans like yourself to sit in the shade and by extension anyone who wants to visit the garden.

It takes uppity people to get things done. They have the power, they have the money, they have the resources to implement their vision.

You know I'm right, you just have too much pride to admit you're wrong. It's not a scarlet letter, its not a fake school, and it's not a sub par education. It just burns you that ordinary people can go to Harvard.

If you like, then don't go. I'll be waiting for you to finish your HBS MBA at Harvard. Won't be holding my breath.

In the mean time I'll be congratulating mednat on his ALM at Harvard. Well done man! One class away from being a HARVARD graduate! Make sure and buy a HARVARD CLASS RING, treat yourself to an 18k ring too. Oh and visit the HARVARD MUSEUMS and HARVARD libraries that your HARVARD STUDENT ID CARD give you access too. and not that you need it but they also give HARVARD student services to you since you are a HARVARD student.

I go that information at the HARVARD extension school website that lists HARVARD in the domain.

Oh look HARVARD.edu.

mednat is almost a HARVARD grad sanantone and he's also getting his PhD next year. Guess thats one smart fellow, I won't dobut it. He is a HARVARD man.

@posabsolute I know :-) . It wasn't meant to be 100% serious. Some of you do bring good points, I just think HES is such a good idea for all the hate it's getting.

I accidentally liked your post. I wish we could undo likes. How come this isn't an option?

Where some former Harvard president went to school in the 1800s is irrelevant to this thread. Your post makes no sense and is written in broken English even though you're a native English speaker. Jeff Bezos was used as a modern comparison to demonstrate how nonsensical your argument was. I guess you don't understand the concept of analogies. 

The success of an educational program is not measured by the creator's success; it's measured by the success of its students. If you can demonstrate that degree-seeking HES students have high graduation rates, and their earnings are higher than industry averages, then you'd have yourself a good justification for the added costs. The fact that the person who created the school was president of Harvard in the early 1900s is irrelevant to the value of the Extension School. 

Ironically, you praised uppity people for getting things done, but uppity people are the most likely to look down upon HES. 

I don't know that you're right. I know that your argument is ridiculous. You'd have to actually make sense for me to form an opinion of whether you're right or wrong.
