Mrs. Olsen: You wrote your book report in red ink. Caulfield: Same pen you use. Mrs. Olsen: You won't be about to see where I marked it up. Caulfield: Exactly! I expected more from the lady who wears her orange pantsuit on spaghetti day.
When I was teaching, the first time it happened, I just corrected it in blue or black pen, with comment. The second time, I handed it back to be re-done. The third time, the paper got no credit.
Well, I doubt that you were referring to me, but my username and avatar are a reference to the old PC games Myst and Riven, which were popular in the late 1990s.
Hey Scoonz…. I feel chagrined that you did not as me about the origins of my nickname! Am I too unimportant or uninspiring? I feel like a failure. [big, furry-faced grin] I am hoping you know I am just joshing around. I like your comments, and look forward to reading more of them and getting more of a conversation going.

A whole page written in red is hard to read for me, Which is also a good tactic.

My mom wouldn’t have accepted the paper, my dad would have required it to be typed, and I would correct it in black ink.
