My idea is simple: why not have a Wikipedia style web site where students will upload their work and qualified professionals in various industries will give marks.
Two pros will grade each assignment. Students can be identified by id numbers to preserve anonymity.
What do you think? People can get "karma" for helping with the grading and everyone can be assured of higher standards in the schools.

I would call the plan a bit lopsided. Some urban students and rural students (and suburban) still don't have access to a computer and less the internet (if you can believe it).
How would you know that someone is a professional? Have you read the comments on www.reddit.com or 4chan? People can be very mean.
Why not start in the schools? I wish we had a centralized place to put student work where all stakeholders analyzed and assessed it. I can't even get some of my colleagues to go to district meetings.
Brilliant idea. There are legal and technical issues but if it can be done it should be. Ignore the naysayers.
