Although there is undoubtedly a corrolation between "good" schools and good
students and a corrolation between getting higher degrees and being
intelligent, it is by no means a slamdunk. There are many exceptions both
ways. I have a friend who does not even have a batchelors degree but has
taught graduate level courses at Columbia. On the other side I know PhDs who
know some small specialty very well, but don't have the common sense to come
in out the rain or to participate intelligently in a discussion outside
their field.

Many people are very good at parroting back what they have heard but cannot
generate new ideas on their own. Good parroting back skills will get you
through most schools. Bush is a very good parrot with poor taste in who he
parrots.
