Please click here to read an excellent editorial from renowned English Education Professor Peter Smagorinsky in which he discusses what the new landscape of English teaching entails for a beginning teacher in the age of big data, where the whole child can be reduced to a series of dots on a page. One point made:
"This process of dehumanizing students and teachers also reduces them only to what is convenient about them to justify policy decisions."

Personally, I think Star Trek television shows and comics had a much better plan: Data as humanizing factor.
