Do you have a problem with teachers grading with red ink?

<p>Haha. I still remember getting a big trouble in 6th grade when I turned in my homework written in red ink. I had to redo the whole worksheet. Never again have I written in red ink.</p>

<p>Senseless liberal garbage. :slight_smile: Hehe</p>

<p>yeah red ink is totally bad…not only does it seem like you’re getting shout at, but bleeds terror in your eyes when reading. i hate red ink corrections. they should do blue or black or even green ink instead. green ink is attempting to be more in harmony with you whereas red ink is like telling you youre an idiot.</p>

<p>I dread that Macaroni and Cheese crayon my teacher grades with too…</p>

<p>Same here. It would be a lot more helpful if the teacher went into how to fix what is wrong rather than trying to ignore what you’re doing wrong. For example, my English teacher seems to write on everyone’s paper that they should go deeper, but I don’t recall her ever showing us HOW to analyze literature.</p>

<p>I don’t care. If they all started using, for example, purple, then kids would probably be traumatized of purple, too. Seriously, this is ridiculous.</p>

<p>I see this case as a bunch of whiners who can’t deal with having stupid children.</p>

<p>Don’t want to see red ink? Then don’t get any answers wrong. It’s that simple.</p>

<p>I’d prefer green ink, but whatever. As long as the grade is good ;)</p>

<p>The whole reason red ink is seen as demoralizing is because it has been used for corrections for years and is thus associated with “being wrong”. If teachers were to switch to any other color, that color, would become the new symbol of “being wrong”. Basically, it’s classical conditioning of students to feel wrong upon seeing the color red. What some people don’t realize is that they are supposed to feel wrong, because they are wrong. There is no point in correcting mistakes on a paper/test if the student is not going to acknowledge that he or she made these mistakes because the student will not be motivated to learn the correct answer/method.</p>

<p>I agree. If they switch to a different color and consistently grade in that color for the next 200 years, that new color would be considered demoralizing</p>

<p>Oh dear lord that child saw RED on his paper - get a WAHmbulance here stat</p>
