I read somewhere, recently that a school had banned teachers from marking students work in red ink! Apparently they felt that this would traumatise the children in some way seeing red comments over their work! I have never heard anything so ludicrous, does it really matter what colour ink the comments are written in? Is this true? Have some schools actually adopted this policy? I would love to hear your comments on this one!
I’m just relieved I work in a secondary school where this doesn’t apply (I believe the rule was relating to primary schools)
