Man Who Invented The SCANTRON DIES!!!

 

Man Who Invented The SCANTRON DIES!!!
Some people may not care, but for those of you who are in college would find this interesting.

"Fill in the circles completely"

"Number 2 pencils only"

We are sad to report, Michael Sokolski, the creator of the widely used 'scantron' has passed away. Here is what TMZ reported...

:
Sad day in the world of standardized testing, the genius who invented Scantron has passed away.

Michael Sokolski -- who co-founded Scantron in 1972 died June 13 at the age of 85.

Sokolski didn't just change the world of education, after WW2, he fought with Polish Forces under the British Eighth Army Command from 1945 to 1947 and was honored with the Italy Star and War Medal for his service.


Pencils down.

RIP Michael Sokolski.

I prefer to write essays hate multiple choice..because teachers always put none of the above or all of the above or just a and b GRRRR...but still R.I.P he really did change the way test are taken....think about if you had to tak the SAT without a scantron before you say you don't care
