In case you haven't heard, schools are set to start using natural language processing tools—computers—to automatically score some standardised tests (STAAR).

But no worries, it also assigns itself a confidence score that might send it to humans to rescore if it's too low (how opaque will that scoring be?).

But surely the STAAR tests can't be that important? "The commissioner can appoint a conservator to oversee campuses and school districts. State law also allows the commissioner to suspend and replace elected school boards with an appointed board of managers. If a campus receives failing grades for five years in a row, the commissioner is required to appoint a board of managers or close that school."

Surely you can appeal?

"For $50, students and their parents can request a rescore if they think the computer or the human got it wrong. The fee is waived if the new score is higher than the initial score. "

    @lyrenhex @mcc hey this thread appeared in my feed and I'm going on a tangent here but your use of 's/word/replacement' got me: I used this somewhere recently and the receiving party did not understand and I tried to duckduckgo/google/search the term of this, uh, methodology, but came up empty. I was mostly curious to the etymology of this linguistic tool, but came up empty. Any pointers, if this unprompted question is ok?
