I don't want to be rude about this, but education PhDs are a complete joke, and your argument would be stronger without mentioning as much.



It took me a while to realize that most people with "doctoral degrees in education" have EdDs, not PhDs. The people I know with the latter are quite bright; the people with the former are not necessarily.

One of the reasons for this is that schools typically pay teachers more if they have a masters or doctoral degree in education (but it doesn't matter what type of doctoral degree...so people flock to the less rigorous one).
