I went to grad school on CS for a year, focusing on AI. I then realized that I was more interested in improving reasoning in people rather than machines, so I switched to Ed. Psych. I can still recall my astonishment at how much lower the quality of grad students in the education school was. A very few bright ones and a whole lot of "dumm". One anecdote: I was focusing for a while on better ways to teach algebra word problems. I put up some examples and not one education grad student, or the professor, could solve even one of them. I'm talking about stuff like "a boat goes 5 miles in an hour against the current and ..." Nada.
