"Pearson has a contract with the state of Texas for five years that is worth close to $500 million.
"That ought to bring gold-plated service and products to the children of Texas, right?
"Wrong.
"Pearson is advertising for test graders in Texas on craigslist!
"The graders need only a bachelor’s degree, and they will be paid $12 an hour. They will be “trained,” of course, but think of it. Their snap decisions will decide the fate of students, teachers, and schools. If they aren’t that good at what they do, children will fail, teachers will be fired, and schools will be closed. Because of decisions made by a temp worker."

I have many thoughts as well, but will only share that using Craig's List and all the applicant venues listed on a link provided is not necessarily a bad thing. Human Resources should advertise positions broadly to attract a diverse array of applicants. This is not to say I want our students tested, et. al. However, using Craig's List in itself isn't really a negative aspect....and younger job applicants use it a lot these days.
