Teachers BARRED from marking work in red in case it upsets the children.

[DamonJ]

Hundreds of schools have barred teachers from marking in red in case it upsets the children.

They are scrapping the traditional method of correcting work because they consider it ‘confrontational’ and ‘threatening’.

Pupils increasingly find that the ticks and crosses on their homework are in more soothing shades like green, blue, pink and yellow, or even in pencil.

No see... that might come across as patronizing and may cause child pregnancies in the future.
