Agreed. And people with PhD’s in education are worse than useless. They are actually counterproductive.
But there’s an easy solution. Simply eliminate all education departments. You want to teach, say, math? Get a degree in math, then student teach with a master teacher.
As I noted earlier, I taught for many years in an urban high school. About half the teachers there - including me - had real degrees, not education degrees.
Couldn’t agree more.
