[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say that among doctoral programs, EdD's are generally less respected, in that the research requirement is less rigorous (their journals also tend to set a lower bar). This is true of many fields though (including Physical Therapy, Nursing, Management/Policy).

It is all relative. [/quote]

Isn’t it interesting how these are all women dominated fields…. Hmm… what a coincidence![/quote]

+1. All of the hate on teachers is just the usual misogyny and devaluing of work that is more often done by women. There are plenty of male dominated fields which are not especially competitive which do not draw the same criticisms as teaching.  [/quote]

I (PP) was commenting on the rigor of different doctoral programs, not commenting on teaching as a field (most teachers never earn doctoral degrees).

Jobs traditionally held by women, including caregiving, are traditionally undervalued and under-rewarded. This is due to sexism but also the fact that capitalist nations value money/profit over people/social good (such as educating the next generation of citizens). I do not agree with this.[/quote]

It’s not just “caregiving,” I see so many careers that just happen to become devalued as women become a majority/plurality.  Look at physicians who are pediatricians/general practitioners.  Magically, once these jobs became dominated by women, they became devalued.  It’s like magic![/quote]
Happening to veterinarians, too.[/quote]
