You'll never be able to really measure anything, right? Including teachers.

We can't just throw something out there and assume it works just because it has math in it.

There's less of a connection for a lot of people between the technical decisions we make and the ethical ramifications we are responsible for.

People are starting to be very skeptical of the Facebook algorithm and all kinds of data surveillance.
