As a high school student, I find this amusing. In the first place, of all of the English teachers in my school only one would be able to figure out how to turn on the computer to use the software. Most English teachers don't pursue computer science as lovingly as they should. If this were to grade science experiment write-ups, then I'd worry, because science teachers wouldn't scream if they wre told to use a computer.
When it comes to how much I, a student, would feel if my essays were graded by a machine, let's just say I'd make fun of the whole thing by inserting sentences like "This is a really stupid assignment." or "I wish I were in tech class." But since I enjoy the pursuit of the written art so much I would also be upset that an understanding human being would not be there to see why I might break grammar usage on purpose. I guess that I would end up having to post more essays online where no one who reads them really cares enough to critique the thing.
I want my English teacher, thank you very much.
