<p>Well, you’re quite right. Even if the concept of ranking schools is valid (doubtful), the idea of tweaking the rankings every year to create the illusion of change is a simply a ploy to sell magazines. That’s why it fascinated me a couple years ago to see scores of people so INVESTED in every number from one to fifty or more. And Alexandre leading the way with over 20,000 posts. So I checked in this year, and was surprised to see that the bloom is apparently off the rose. Few people seem to care. We’ll see if that changes when the 2015 rankings come out. </p>
