Fourteen-year-old Milo Beckman, ... a student at [Stuyvesant]... gathered data on the line length and scores of 115 essays and found that there was a direct correlation between a higher score and a longer essay. The probability of that correlation being mere chance is basically zero. He is using his findings to advocate for more time to be allowed to write the essays and more time for teachers to grade them.
For nerd-alert-y things from people who have lived on Park Street. Duh.
