A doctorate in ‘education’ is garbage. Any teacher wanting a real doctorate can get one. The education system created this idiot participation trophy to try to elevate their standing.

Having known several teachers, that is correct. So much of a teachers pay is computed based upon their continuing education.
I’m reminded of an article in WSJ several years ago that compared the requirements for a degree across all college majors and qualifications of the students. Journalism ranked second from the bottom just barely edging out education. IOW, those with an education degree had the lowest academic qualifications and took the courses that were the least challenging.
