The problem with, and the federal government's role in our schools is not one of education, but of bureaucracy.

What then is his executive experience? I am very interested in what Jack Welch has to say about administrative bureaucracy, because he has a proven track record of performance in an environment which demands measurable results. What similar expertise does Dr. Keyes have? He mentions the word "data", but he doesn't provide any. He isn't going to convince anyone who believes in federal involvement that they are wrong, because his argument is not convincing. It is merely a string of assertions.

Therefore, the only ones who will respond to it are the ones who already believe that federal involvement is wrong. So if the purpose of the article is not to convince someone that federal involvement is bad for education (it isn;t), and if the article isn't intended for people who believe in federal involvement (it isn't), then what is its purpose, and who is it for?

I believe Dr. Keyes is well qualified to speak on the subject.

Why?

What precisely are your qualifications to state unequivocably that federal involvement isn't bad for education, or for that matter, who this article was intended for?

I believe Dr. Keyes is qulified to speak on the subject because he has served in the government, and has done so outside of the bureaucracy.
