Apparently red inked pens hurt childrens self-esteem.

I grade in red so it will kill two birds with one stone- it'll ruin kids' self-esteem, and THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE FUCKING CORRECTIONS I MAKE. Goddamn I hate the Teacher's Union.

That's still not as bad as "don't wear that - it will make the prisoners feel like criminals", though.

God bless the bleeding heart Canadians. They win the most effeminate nation on earth award 2005.

sounds like it should be an emo band.

"You associate red with blood, stop and danger"

we should be able to make our posts red so that make people think we are angry.

"Teachers may start out using purple, a color that they seem to think has less negative connotations, but in time, after kids have gone through 12 years of purple check marks, they're going to think purple is an awful color," Brown said.

"And, of course, kids also like purple because it's the color of Barney."

That alone sold me on the purple pens.

if this what they call "progress" - you can count me out. I just read that article and all i have to say is...


wow.

here's a man that would striaghten those faggy kids out.

There needs to be more men on the school districts or something. Women are sending our education to hell.

And if men are making that stuff up, there needs to be a good old fashion hanging.

Women at least have the excuse for being nurtures.

Part of the problem here is that there is too much emphasis on the importance of grades. Kids are made to feel like they are useless if they are not doing well in school.

I correct their papers in red or green...I'm sure my 4th graders can deal with "Watch your spelling" in red
