Interestingly the business owners did not put their own children through such a system. – They were educated by private tutors or in small private schools of less than 50 students in total. The problem is that modern workplaces do not work like this

This is How Local Australian Students Enter University
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Only 26% of all people entering university use their ATAR. This is local students and does not include fee paying international students. Don’t forget only around half of young people go to University anyway, so we are maintaining a system that is effectively designed to sort out the top 13% of students for University entry. Is that really sufficient justification for the impact and stress this creates for young people? http://www.mitchellinstitute.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Crunching-the-number_Exploring-the-use-and-usefulness-of-the-ATAR.pdf March 2018 Based on 2016 data

https://theoutline.com/post/7289/are-the-kids-all-right-these-school-surveillance-apps-sure-want-to-tell-you On a recent Friday night, Mark Nelson, a vice principal at a large public school in California, was at a colleague’s birthday party when his cell phone rang with news of a student in acute crisis. The student had gone onto his school district-issued iPad and composed an email to the school counselor, but it wasn’t the counselor who had read the email and called Nelson; it was an employee of Gaggle,.Gaggle screens students’ electronic documents, communications, and calendars for things like bullying, violence, and suicidal ideation (as well as less severe transgressions, like swearing). When the student hit send, the message was flagged by Gaggle artificial intelligence, then reviewed by a human screener at the company, who rated it at the highest level of urgency. This triggered the phone call to Nelson, who then called law enforcement to intervene. For this student and for the small handful of other students in crises that school personnel would not otherwise have known about, Nelson has found Gaggle to be a useful tool for getting help to kids who need it.

The Development of Robot Enhanced Therapy for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (DREAM) https://www.dream2020.eu/general-public/ DREAM is an EC-funded project that will deliver the next generation robot-enhanced therapy (RET). It develops clinically relevant interactive capacities for social robots that can operate autonomously for limited periods under the supervision of a psychotherapist. DREAM will also provide policy guidelines to govern ethically compliant deployment of supervised autonomy RET. The core of the DREAM RET robot is its cognitive model which interprets sensory data (body movement and emotion appearance cues), uses these perceptions to assess the child’s behaviour by learning to map them to therapist-specific behavioural classes, and then learns to map these child behaviours to appropriate robot actions as specified by the therapists.

The Japanese education ministry will launch a pilot program in 500 schools in April 2019 to improve English speaking proficiency in schools. Japan has proposed improving English skills ahead of the surge in tourists expected during the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. “The results of the trial were fascinating. It appeared that students were less scared to use a foreign language to chat with a robot because they knew that it wouldn’t judge or laugh at them.” https://www.sbs.com.au/news/ai-robots-to-boost-english-in-japan
