"Reading Incomprehension" opinion piece

Reading Incomprehension by Todd Farley is a New York Times opinion piece that discusses the author's experience as a scorer of the essay portions of standardized tests. Strasser was a graduate student working part-time under tight deadlines, not an education professional. Based on this opinion piece, I plan to take a look at Strasser's forthcoming book, Making the Grades: My Misadventures in the Standardized Testing Industry.
