less-biased.

When the computer grades the exams, the grades are not
fair.

40% of British students saw their test scores downgraded.

Most of that 40% were from poor social strata.

The UK made a big mistake by replacing teachers with

computers when determining A-level scores.

What 3rd conditional statement can you make to address this

mistake?

If the UK government hadn’t replaced the the teachers for

computers, more poorer students would have passed the
exam.

If the UK hadn’t implemented the algorithm, they wouldn’t

have got in trouble with the students.
Students in the UK went on strike, causing the government
to make a U-turn.

If the government hadn’t made a U-turn, the students in the

UK wouldn’t have gone on strike.

Teachers were more fair to students than the algorithm, and

the algorithm discriminated more against poorer students.

If the algorithm had been fairer to students, poorer students

wouldn’t have felt discriminated against.
