SYDNEY (Reuters) - Teachers using red pen to mark students' work could be harming their psyche as the color is too aggressive, according to child-pussification strategies drafted by an Australian state government.
So what if the students are color blind?
My god, this is getting disturbing.
if you choose any colour other than red, chances are some student with a psychological issue wrote in that colour
So that means teachers can no longer correct papers by writing in their own life-blood? That's just rediculou.
Oh for fuck's sake. Red pens linked to youth suicide? I have now officially seen it all.

child pussification studies
great
It's their fucking fault they screwed up on their homework.
The end.
This is actually an old trend, it started a few years ago. Green and purple seem to be pretty popular. When I teach I'm using red, my parents grew up on red ink, and I did for most of my life. If they got it wrong they should know it's wrong.
i would correct homework with fists to their dome
I noticed the same thing. hahQuote:

There used to be a day in age if you had a problem, you threw on gloves and fought, now the color red is leading to psyche damage....
Are we gonna change the color of stop lights too?

what does taking personal responsibility have to do with the color of the pen used to grade their testsQuote:
