21. Someone who is actually an educator.

With a degree and real-life experience in education!

A former (or even current) public school teacher, preferably.

[Smarmie Doofus]

23. If I may piggy-back a bit: I'd like public school teaching experience...

... in combination with having had his/her own children in public school at some point.

Duncan doesn't seem to meet either criteria.

Blah. Between that and Rick Warren, yesterday my opinion of Obama went down a bit.

[proud2BlibKansan]

I won't get behind anyone who thinks it just needs to be reformed.
