This explains a lot.

*US study says red pen makes students anxious *Children feel "shouted at" *But psychologist says criticism is normal part of life

[driftdiver]

Well if they’d study and not miss any questions then they wouldn’t feel shouted at.

I saw lots of red ink as a kid. No wonder I’m so messed up....

These “researchers” from the University of Colorado would certainly not get a good grade for RESEARCH from me. Grade and instructor comments would be in RED... written with a permanent marker.

[TexasCajun]

Ahhh, Bless Their Little Hearts.

Oh please! If they’d been using purple all these years, they’d be blaming purple.

[Cowboy Bob]

Spelling the word “color” “colour” makes me anxious...

Colorado University is a clone of the vast majority of our universities in that departments that are not STEM related quite simply have laughable standards.

Want a CU example?

Ward Churchill...professor...department chair...no discernible IQ, morality, or creativity...with a Master’s Degree in Underwater Basket Lying. Yes, he was fired, but only after much controversy.

QED.

Libs were peddling the same tripe about ink color 40 years ago.

[bigbob]

teachers “bled red” all over my stuff as a kid...am I now “entitled” to some kind of reparations? I’m a damn victim, after all ;-) /sarc

Drudge had a story up recently about how much kids think of themselves today and their high expectation after high school and college.

...give 'em all trophies, no losers, no winners.

Then the real-world reality bites them in the butt and they can't cope.

Use the red pen to write EXCELLENT WORK on the kids paper (when the work truly rtaes it) and really confuse those moronic researchers!

[ThomasThomas]

It must be wrong it was first used by newspapers.

Imagine how the bull feels when it has to charge a red cape.
A change to chartreuse may be warranted.

Back when I went to school, what you did if you didn’t want to see red ink on your assignments you made sure you did them correctly. This of course was back when self-esteem was earned by hard work.

[GeronL]

The world is retarded

[pabianice]

A red “F” on a test in junior high definitely had an impact. I studied much harder.

[Political Junkie Too]

Is black ink racist?

Color-red-o University better change its name posthaste!

My first girlfriend's 11 year-old kid sister was in love with her squiggle pen.... it made her "feel good".

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

The world has gone nuts.
