I've known a few PhDs in my life, and they're often impressive in their field. I've known a few EdDs, and so far, one is awesome and was before he got his degree, and the other 4 are terrible. What's up with that. Simple data point. I must admit that they all came from SDSU, but still. Terrible, as in not so smart, not good at their assigned positions, and sort of mean and political.
I don't know if it's a function of intelligence, but it seemed the common thread among the embarrassments was their inability to self-assess. They either weren't able to see how ineffective and bafoonish they are, or they were just evil. I'm still waiting for them to be removed from positions of power over others.
