All the parties know that if the students perform the students should be given grades commensurate with their work effort. For a few years when I was in grammar school, we were graded on effort. Fortunately, that didn't last long. Did you really mean that? Later you said that the assignment would be graded on how well it met the terms of the contract, which makes more sense to me.

Do you believe it is possible for a teacher to lay out a rubric which will allow a student, or a lay jury, to tell whether P's haiku deserves an A and Q's haiku deserves a B? I agree with you about undefined assignments -- it drives my girls crazy sometimes. But what you are suggesting, I believe, is that it should be possible to design a computer program which would grade all work, since there should be no personal teacher judgment in it. Program in the rubric, scan in the essay, bingo, a grade is assigned. That would, at least in theory, be possible if your position is correct. I don't think that can be done, personally.
