Today, my work day stretched until 6pm, but I still feel pretty energetic.
I volunteered myself to give inputs on an AI-powered marking system a Ministry of Education HQ team was prototyping. I realised that what is common sense to me is uncharted territory to these six developers. So, I became super animated, trying to flesh out my insights from perspectives gleaned from my days teaching at a junior college, a specialised secondary, and a primary school.
“Why did you agree to participate in this trial?” the developer who recruited me asked me, his curiosity piqued.
“To do something that stands out against the daily grain,” I answered.
Well, this unique experience brought me more than I had bargained for. I now realise that my experience matters.
What insights were common sense to you but foreign to the developers?

The standardisation process
On how the English department surfaces several scripts that belong to low progress, mid progress n high progress students n carries out a rigorous discussion on how to award them marks based on the rubrics. So different teachers can award the same pile of scripts vastly different marks because of their different standards and expectations, even if they are using the same set of rubrics. There are few absolutes in marking English papers

Why not make short posts with references to the previous one, keeping that history? I think it’s nice, even if they’re short.
