Article #2
The Academically Lightweight Doctorate in
Educational Leadership That Typifies The Degree Sought by Those Such as Lisa
Sayles-Adams
In reading Introductory Comments and Article #1 of
this edition of Journal of the K-12 Revolution: Essays and Research from Minneapolis,
Minnesota, readers have learned that the dissertation written by Lisa
Sayles-Adams was the sort of work that should have been relegated to at most a
journalistic article. The subject
covered had nothing of the academic heft of dissertations written for those
seeking degrees in legitimate academic fields such as mathematics, physics,
history, economics, or literature.
Further, the courses taken by students seeking
education doctorates have no academic content to them. Observe (given below) these courses required
for the doctorate in educational leadership, taught by those campus embarrassments
known as education professors and devoid of any academic content. Consider that no college or university
president would have wasted time taking such courses; college and university presidents hold Ph.D.
degrees in genuine academic disciplines and have otherwise learned what they
need to know pertinent to educational leadership by occupying administration
positions after many years of classroom teaching.
Educational Leadership (EDD)
The
doctorate in educational leadership is dedicated to developing racially
conscious leaders for P-21 schools, higher education, and non-profit
organizations.
