"“You can game anything”:
{{ … a platform co-founded by Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, to help students with math skills and SAT prep. High-schoolers will log into a Zoom call with other students and a peer tutor, debate topics like immigration or Israel-Palestine, and rate one another on traits like empathy, curiosity or kindness. The Schoolhouse.world site offers a scorecard: The more sessions you attend, and the more that your fellow participants recognize your virtues, the better you do.
“I don’t think you can truly fake respect,” Mr. Khan said. That’s the hope, anyway. But in the college process, you can gamify almost anything. Students, as ever, will find ways to hack the system. And the fortunate ones won’t have to do it alone: They’ll have online guides, school counselors and private tutors to help them learn to simulate earnestness. }}

I guess this is a way to level the playing field for students without the resources to hire a personal college consultant, or make a $1 million donation to a private school. {{ LOL }}
