The problem is, without a randomized control, you're comparing apples to oranges and even in an ideal world where you could control for every socio-economic variable possible, what's the point? Even if your proved some link between bussing and test scores, that's not the point of the project or the school. Maybe people *say* it is but that's all just political posturing.
I do largely agree with you on the EdD situation - they seem to be handing these things out like candy these days. One year of online schooling and you get a EdD?! Absurd.

I work at NU and used to work at UC where I interact with Nobel prize winners, National Academy of Sciences members, top international scientists, and literally nobody uses honorifics.
Do we ever hear anybody refer to Dan Biss as "Dr. Biss"? I called him 'Mayor Biss' once and he told me to call him Dan.

Ironic given they hand out PhDs in education at mediocre places like Chicago state like candy.
