Bill Said:

Who do you think would be better suited for the job of Secretary of Education?

We Answered:

In my view, the Federal Government should have no part in Education. It goes against the 10th Amendment and adds an unneeded level of bureaucracy.

In terms of the local level - Superintendents should be good businessmen who understand the various legal requirements that state and local governments impose on schools. If they have teaching experience, great - but at that high of a level it's unnecessary.
