"This is a sad commentary on the state of corporate education reform.
The corporatists and "reformers" would like nothing more than to use a flawed technology with an evaluation system for teachers that is based on economic models irrelevant to what the teachers do and what the children learn."

I'm reposting this link here because the essay is where a lot of GT kids shine.  Like another commenter said you could make "an app for that", one to write an essay that the Robo-grader scores highly.  You don't even need to involve people at all.  Maybe they're trying to get the school kids to educate the singularity.
