British Schools love an Oxbridge graduate.
The point, of course, that it doesn't make you a better teacher is irrelevant.

Of course name recognition/ranking does not equal teaching ability. Anyways, it's a moot point. I am very much doing this only for my personal benefit. I don't care if it affects my teaching ability, although I can't imagine it would hurt.
