Tokarev Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/04/04/no.more.red.ap/index.html It's always something within our society that something should be forbidden because god forbid, it's evil!
ET Warrior Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 In case you were wondering, No, you cannot read that red font, all it does is hurt the eyes.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 If they're concerned for the child's safety, crack down on schools that practice corporal punishment, teachers who refuse to let a bursting kid go to the restroom, teachers bullying students, students bullying students, and other stuff like that. Gee, they make it sound like their school is a perfect Heaven without any sort of problem but this red ink...
El Sitherino Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 ... That is retarded. Then again the classes I did bad in the teachers used colors like green and crap. Odd, most of my positive comments teachers used red. Red is psychologically the color of passion, I think it's actually a plus if used for criticism, it shows intense interest in the thing.... *shrugs* I'm rambling now, so whatever.

Surfnshannon Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I was so stressed out when I read the first posters message that I had to close this thread and leave.
ET Warrior Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I heard about this like, a year ago. Not this particular article of course, but people were talking about how red is negative and blah blah blah. The stupid thing is that the REASON red is negative is because it's the color we USE to denote bad. It's a human convention. If we started using green to mark wrong answers or bad grades then GREEN would be the same thing. It are dumb.
Neverhoodian Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Pffffft, if parents think using red ink to grade elementary school papers is bad, they really need to put things into perspective. Red is used because it's a bold and eye-catching color. Other colors simply aren't as good for standing out from what the student has written. If their kids ever take honors classes for high school, these parents will really know what it's like for their kids to undergo stress. I swear, those teachers used enough red ink in a single semester to fill an Olympic swimming pool.

Tyrion Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Huh. That explains alot. <- It is evils! THE TONGUE, OH THE TONGUE!
acdcfanbill Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 we shouldnt have ladies in red dresses anymore either, ESPECIALLY if they are teachers...

Southern Star Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Well it does look as if red is not his color. But Im new so what do I know...
IG-64 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Originally posted by Southern Star Well it does look as if red is not his color. But Im new so what do I know... Welcome to LF, have a nice time. About the article, yeah, red is negative, and it means "You're wrong, b*tch". F-
CapNColostomy Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Originally posted by IG-64 Welcome to LF, have a nice time. About the article, yeah, red is negative, and it means "You're wrong, b*tch". F- Yeah. What IG said on both counts. What's the problem? Parents are so God damned scared of having stupid kids they need to...nevermind. Give all of these little retarded bastards little smily faces and glittery gold stars for every F and D they make. That should make the world a nicer place for puppy dogs, cotton candy, rainbows, and clowns everywhere.
wassup Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Originally posted by VikingLarz Where did he go? I believe he (Kain) was perm-banned. As for this whole red ink business, parents should be grateful that teachers are even watching out for students' mistakes in the first place in a education system that is free of charge. Some parents need to realize that not everything in the world has to be tuned to their child's desires.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 The stupid thing is that the REASON red is negative is because it's the color we USE to denote bad. It's a human convention. If we started using green to mark wrong answers or bad grades then GREEN would be the same thin Red in nature symbolizes danger, which is part of why it's used that way in human society.
Nerd_Annhilator Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 What a stupid ****ing load of crap. If my school ever pulled any crap like this I'd goddamn leave.
Captain Wilson Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Originally posted by wassup I believe he (Kain) was perm-banned. When did that Happen . i liked Kain's in your face-ness . OT: There banning a colour beacause its used for marking and some markings says some work is bad? Please correct me if im wrong.
Doomie Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I believe their reasoning was that red was a stressful colour, and therefor, other colours must be used to give markings. Bull****.
Vikinor Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Originally posted by ET Warrior Pay attention in class, study, and don't get F's. Problem solved. Or goof off in class, cut class, skip school, smoke marijuana, sit back and relax. Problem avoided. not that i do that It actually kinda saddens me to see kids that DO that, throwing their future away. I am actually an A student. the only class I don't that good in is Math.
Pie™ Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Originally posted by VikingLarz the only class I don't that good in is Math. And English, apparently. *ka-ching!*
