More evidence that standardized testing/grading is fucked up: Retired high-school English teacher Dan Verner grades SAT essays. For up to 10 hours per day, Verner grades 30 essays each hour--essays written by students within a 25 minute window. Two-minutes per essay, with music in the background. Yeah, this is clearly a formula for useful prediction of college success. (And insofar as it is, clearly the system is fucked.)
