[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way to miss the point.

Do you want to take a flight to Hawaii operated by a pilot with years of specific training, or a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has done extensive, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research on the history of flight, the engineering behind how planes are built, and the economics of air travel?[/quote]

Um, PP, you're just confirming that you are rather thick.

Operating a flight is a physical skill in which, yes, years of experience counts.  However, tracking and analyzing the education sector requires the same skills at which many journalists excel -- critical analysis, research, ability to synthesize data, and to write.

Daniel Goleman, who has written extensively on emotional intelligence is --- gasp -- a mere journalist, not a psychologist or psychiatrist.  Yet he has synthesized and presented research on emotional intelligence that has revolutionized the way the business and education think about emotional intelligence.

But go ahead. Do stay in your narrow thought lane.
