Over credentialed school teacher...
|
[American Thinker] Whoopi Goldberg's opinions reach and influence many female voters. Yesterday, she revealed herself to be an ignorant phony, claiming that the wife of Democrat frontrunner Joe Biden is a "helluva doctor ... an amazing doctor" and ought to be considered for surgeon general in the future Biden administration that she hopes for.
Unfortunately for her, Goldberg was taken in by the former SLOTUS of the Obama administration insisting on being addressed as "Dr. Jill Biden," based on her earning a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware in 2007. (Her dissertation was titled, "Student Retention at the Community College: Meeting Students' Needs.")
Here is a bit of inside baseball from academia. Doctor Biden does not have a Ph.D.; she has a degree known as a "doctor of education," an Ed.D. Holders of this credential are expected to be practitioners, not scholars who create new knowledge. Within the extremely status-conscious world of academics, it is regarded as a lesser credential, one often acquired mid-career (as was the case with Jill Biden) because school systems pay more for staff with master's degrees and even more for doctorate-holders.
