It's entirely within our technological grasp to automatically grade high school English papers, but a big part of paper writing in high school (in theory) is getting feedback and improving as a writer and thinker. Getting accurate, clear and detailed feedback on your writing from an autograder seems like it would be extraordinarily difficult.

Disclaimer: my own high school had a phenomenal English department. Do many teachers simply plop a score at the top?

A very good point that I did not consider, I remember getting very good feedback from my teachers - It would appear I underestimated the size of the problem.
