Ok so my question is: if a professor who graduated from (with a masters) and taught at Yale, wrote a letter of recommendation for a student and stated that the student was one of the best they’ve ever taught, would that letter have more weight than one coming from a regular high school teacher?

By regular I mean one with a BA in education from state-level university.

This would be for a student applying to schools like Yale, Harvard, MIT, ect.

All responses appreciated.
