Some Papers Are Uploaded to Bangalore to Be Graded

http://chronicle.com/article/Outsourced-Grading-With/64954//

It is another exciting development in globalization: now college homework marking is outsourced to 3rd world countries.

should we say sayonara to the western civilization? if the americans cannot find someone good and efficient enough to grade college papers in their colleges, which happens to be one last major competitive advantage they have as a nation, where else could they go?

anyway, I am terrified to read this enlightenment news. not only because i am qualified to grade the college papers (other than not living in India or Malaysia), but it also means that students can now boycott doing homework with a legitimate reason: it shows teachers do not care your homework as much as we were taught to be. Now my daughter can refuse doing any homework and I do not have a legitimate case to defend!

Does it also mean we can also contract out our homework to companies in Malaysia? Or can I now hire someone in Nigeria or Ghana to reply my emails?

Or since it is the Indians who grade our papers, can I request a refund from schools?

Man this world is definitely freaked up!
