I don't think the difference it makes is is that big that a student will be driven into depression if they see too much red pen on their assignment. However, I would like to put the following perspective forward:

I don't wont to have ago at you.

No matter what colour they use, there is going to be the same amount of colour on their paper, if there is a lot of mistakes.


In the ADF, when you do coures, they can't write fail on your papers, since about 5 years.
now days you are competent or Not yet competent

For a minute there Stevo, I thought that you were implying that we on the forum were guilty of calling you politically incorrect names.

Yeah well, come on Stevo, I recon you should have known that your chainsaw was a 2 stroke hahahaha...

What saw is it?

If it has a chrome bore, just buy a piston and ring kit and rub the alloy out of the bore with some 400 wet and dry, $150 and it will be up and running again.

Hey Damian...yeah shoulda known....had a brain fart me thinks...was pointed out to me on here about whether I had put oil in it or not. Its a McCullough I think...bout all I know.

FFS, how much better off would the students be if the government took the money they spend debating the colour of pens, (and other such sh*t) and gave it to the teachers!!!
