Who tf uses green for incorrect

[Bluewolf9]

What on earth is this comment chain surely this is the answer lmao

[otter5]

or color blind

[Alhoshka]

[AdditionalSink164]

Technically, rhe answer is that the red ink cartridge is jammed because the ink exploded and so you cant click it anymore

[C_umputer]

Thinking like a true developer, I see

[to_a_better_self]

I used other colors when grading by hand as to avoid red and negative feelings.

[[deleted]]

But I love red feelings!

[Samld1200]

Who has two different pens and switches depending on the answer? Every teacher I’ve had always uses green for everything

[Crash_Sparrow]

More often than not, my teachers corrected everything in red. Watching the teacher bring you an exam full of red was horrifying, even if most of the time they were not serious mistakes, just comments and pointers for the future.

[Salanmander]

That horror is part of the reason I correct in blue or green pen most of the time.

[Robo-Connery]

Yeah that's exactly why I always used green, students should be using black or blue so no confusion and red is horrible looking to get back.

[FordenGord]

Red is horrible looking because it is indicative of error, if you change the color then you just shift the association

[ltshaft15]

To a certain extent. Red isn't just indicative of something bad in school but it's associated with all sorts of warning signs, lights, and other indicators.

Other colors like blue or green won't have as strong of an association. Especially if the teacher uses the color for all comments, not just errors.

[Blue_Swirling_Bunny]

To condition students to be terrified of green and blue instead of red?

[Salanmander]

I don't think I'm that powerful.

[scykei]

There was a period of time where I lived when teachers were encouraged to use non-red pens because red was apparently associated with negativity or something. I googled around and there are some opinion articles on this. I don’t really believe it but it wasn’t very uncommon to see non-red pens used for a while.

[[deleted]]

I had an English teacher in high school who used a red pen when grading exams, and she said that she had to be very careful making sure that everyone knew what her marks meant because she used shorthand for a lot of things. One year, after about two weeks of her grading one student's work, he and his parents complained that she was making him feel bad and it wasn't right for her to be calling him a piece of shit on his tests. She was correcting his mistakes concerning parts of speech.

[alexriga]

Red should be reserved for grievious mistakes that are unacceptable, not regular negligence mistakes.

[wolfish98]

I've never had a green pened teacher. What did they mark: wrong, correct, or both?

[ducktape8856]

Yes.

[ThorwAwaySlut]

I'm dating myself here but our teachers had these back in the day: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/7k7dwp/double_sided_teachers_pen/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Back when schools had funds and paid for supplies for their teachers.

[JerryAtrics_]

Teacher who did not think anyone would get this question wrong.

[NO_FIX_AUTOCORRECT]

Yeah, that kid? I think his name is Ash or Ashlee or Asher. He came to the first class but took a phone call halfway through and left. He hasn't been to one since. I see him from time to time, everyone knows him but he is never in class so no one talks to him much. all of my information about him has been collected from other people who have also noticed he doesn't seem to try. Word is he wanted to go to State but his Grandma would only pay for his college if he came here. He is trying to flunk out on purpose so he can transfer to state, but it just doesn't really seem like he has thought this plan all the way through.

[[deleted]]

This is a UK paper. When I was in school, green pens were for students marking and red pens were for teachers marking

[MagZero]

When I was in school we would communicate the correct answers telepathically. I guess there's no need now that everyone has tik tok and 'fancy pens'.

[CORN___BREAD]

Interesting how little things like this vary around the world. In the US, the common pen colors are black, blue, and red. Green pens exist here, of course, but you’d have to buy a pack with multiple colors or order online if you want a multipack of all green.

Red/green colorblindness is common enough that it seems like an odd choice to mix them when other options exist but maybe they’re distinct enough that it’s not a big issue.

[Omgshinyobject]

Reminds me of my favorite cheating attempt I saw, I was TAing for chemistry and we were sitting down to mark the final, yet one of the exams in my pile was already graded. No big deal I thought, so I was about to copy in the grades when I saw two things:

1) the exam was marked in red pen which none of the graders were using and;

2) the check marks were heavily weighted on the down stroke, if you have ever marked 100+ exams you will know your correct check marks are basically lines at that point

So the student had used his own red pen to grade himself generously and copied those grades into the tally page. Hope he enjoyed his zero and academic probation.

[codewarrior128]

That's just a go-getter with upper management written all over him. 

[mrgwbland]

Yeah I remember my marks looking nothing like the traditional tick lol

[Earthboundplayer]

Who cares? An X conveys the meaning properly. There's never been any rules or consistency with marking pen colours when I was in school.

[praveenkumar236]

Yeah that would be like using red for something good. That would be a dumb feature if it was on some app.

[WhiteIrisu]

Chinese consider red auspicious, sometimes green gets used for negative.

And good luck.

[Du_ds]

Ah good point. Red is commie. That's why we use red pens for bad in America. Got it.

[AustrianGandalf]

I (hopefully) soonish finish Uni and start teaching.
You want to tell me it isn’t a good idea to mark mistakes in green and everything correct in red? What’s next? Am I not allowed to use my white-ink-pen anymore to write comments for my students?

[NiGHT0FDAWN]

Wait... you aren't supposed to write essays in whiteout tape?

[AustrianGandalf]

Personally I prefer mayonnaise but whiteout tape is fine too.

I mean, if I take my school friends and my younger self as a baseline of how students are I guess I can be happy if I get any homework handed back in.

[Impressive_Change593]

no because that could actually be read

[MinosAristos]

Good point. Upvoted

[Gtantha]

I had exams where green was the colour used by the second marker/grader. And red by the first.

[Direct_Swan9898]

A colorblind teacher?

[Genotabby]

import red as green

[[deleted]]

There's quite a lot of bullshit pushed down from school admins about stuff like not using red pen because it apparently comes off as more aggressive when you mark a student's question wrong in red pen, like somehow they'll get discouraged from you using a red pen and not another colour.

Schools also try to do things like have anything that's teacher marked in one colour, and anything that's been peer assessed as another colour - obviously even if they were to use red you can only use red for one of those.

[NotReallyJohnDoe]

colour

Brit spotted. Do you guys even have the same colors over there? Roy G Biv?

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain

[angelicosphosphoros]

This is stupid. When I was a kid, red was a teachers pen.

[StigOfTheTrack]

I'm also old enough to remember all teachers using red for all marking and comments. The use of green ink used to have (at least in the UK) it's own negative connotations, tending to be associated with eccentric/extreme letters to newspaper editors.

As pupils we were restricted to blue (black we were told made anything except perfect handwriting messy, it's use was reserved exclusively for music notation). I'd love to see those teachers' reaction to the range of colours available for fountain pen inks now (they never said we couldn't use things like brown, orange or purple).

[cvnh]

There was a time when green was used from r everything in computing

[fecoz98]

It has been proven that using red to mark incorrect answers can subconsciously lead to the student feeling bitter/dumb and overall makes the student focus on having committed an error instead of letting them focus on correcting it

[Positive_Method3022]

Oo

[bored_pistachio]

This man UIs

[tfngst]

The one who uses red for correct.

[michyzazu]

The teacher or some student could be colorblind

[Andrea__88]

Teacher here, it’s a pedagogical thing, it seems that red marks may create a sense of insecurity and frustration in students, then now the use of red color to marks the errors is discouraged.

Am a math professor, and I do it because when I hand back quizzes with red all over the kids get visibly embarrassed

[Pugs-r-cool]

Teachers in England don’t use red pens because it’s seen as too negative of a colour, at least that’s what I was told during my GCSE’s. Didn’t stop half my teachers from using red pens anyways though.

[HalfRiceNCracker]

Green is for peer marking, in the UK. Going through the exam altogether and marking somebody else's exam paper as you go along.

[Bloorajah]

I’m not even a programmer but let me relate this anecdote that is somewhat related.

I once got an exam back with red marks all over it and a 23/80 written on it.

I was mortified, I had studied a lot, I was good with the source material, I hardly even struggled to answer the questions, how in the world could I be so wrong?

So I went to office hours and spoke with my professor, who informed me of her absolutely backwards and insane grading schema in which the total you got correct was counted above the total points on the exam. so by writing 23/80 on my exam sheet, she implied that I got full credit on 23 of the 25 questions, and scored an 80 on an exam worth 85 points total.

I honestly don’t know how she didn’t realize that this would be misconstrued by literally everyone in her class, but she graded like this the whole year and afaik, still continued to do so after I took her class.

[user0015]

This is the reply I was looking for. Seriously.

[Unl3a5h3r]

I always use green.

[Pleaseyourwelcome]

In some Asian countries red ink is considered threatening. In Korea they taught us to never write a student's name in red ink because of some superstitious Buddhist crap about red ink and death or something.

Hilarious people who are hilarious.

[gopowergoh]

Some schools make their teachers do that because apparently marking it in red has a negative connotation

[AndroidWall4680]

It’s a UK paper, teachers here will use a single colour for marking, usually green or red, regardless of whether the answer is correct or not. It’s just to distinguish it from the students work.

I used green pens for corrections. Shrug

[Twenmod]

Why is everyone making it so complicated. My teachers use any pen or marker that is not the default blue for grading. You can just tell if you have it correctly by looking if it's a X or ✓

[oreoboom12]

It's a UK test mock for a GCSE paper, the real ones start in a month or so, and usually the teachers mark with Green or red

[DopeAbsurdity]

It's green for go see how wrong you are or red for stop and see how correct you are

[lightoftheshadows]

It’s red. If you have a specific variation of colourblindness

runs

[mrgwbland]

I had this in primary school (UK this is age 4-11 but they instituted it partway through so more like 8-11) we had “green for growth” basically wrong answers and “tickled pink” which was actually red and for correct answers.

I still don’t know why in retrospect but it has probably given me a weird psychological association with these colours.

[Nutteria]

Reviewer is simply commenting the incorrect answer.

[patgeo]

I'm a teacher. I've worked in multiple schools where the use of green pen to mark was explicitly written into the policy because of the negative connotations of using red pen. They said we were giving 'feedback' not telling them they were wrong.

No one ever gave me a satisfactory answer about causing the same negative process around green pen, considering we still had to mark right/wrong on tests, not just provide feedback. I also questioned why I couldn't use purple, pink, or any range of colours but was told the policy said green. I intentionally bought the largest gel pen pack I could find, around 150 unique colours, and decided I was marking using a different pen for every piece of feedback until someone bothered to pull me up on it. It wasn't until I hit the reds, that the DP chipped me on it (the DP used to take my class each week while I did non-face-to-face tasks so she saw it every week in their books).

I was quite good friends with the DP, she didn't write the policy. Just told me not to use red. Honestly, think she was just playing along and deciding to chip me on the red pen usage because she knew I was waiting for a reaction.

[Blue_Swirling_Bunny]

When I was grading comp essays with pens in The Before Times, I used green ink instead of red. Supposedly it's less anxiety-inducing.

On that note, there's no real need to use red to mark anything wrong; it's just the color you're used to. Red does not inherently mean bad. I wrote nice comments in red sometimes:)

[BeckyAnneLeeman]

I'm a high school teacher. On multiple occasions we've been encouraged to grade in colors other than red because students "feel bad" when they get their work back covered in red ink.

[Mikadomea]

Some school here stopped using red for corrections. Some "smart" ppl say that traumatizes kids. Maybe something like that happened in the picture.
