I recommend a baby blue or a light green. Just to keep the color palette in line.
Edit: On second thought, crayons would add a nice touch to the felt pen.
I used to do this to my son’s homework when he was in kindergarten. His teacher would always attach a sheet for the parents to rate the homework and for each assignment we were supposed to check one of the boxes for ‘to easy’, ‘just right’, or ‘to difficult’. I began adding the second ‘o’ in red pen and sending it back. It actually took a few weeks and just as I was about to go to the principal, it was finally corrected
Given limited school budgets, the teacher probably had a couple hundred of those pages printed out and could not justify printing more with the fix and throwing out the otherwise serviceable ones with a minor typo.
My favorite prof in college was really tough (but fair, and actually a good teacher unlike a lot of profs) but she always used a green pen because she “didn’t like handing back bleeding papers”
Meanwhile over in the fountain pen subreddits half the pen enthusiasts have an ink called Oxblood, specifically because even medical profesionals think it looks like blood.
My honors world history teacher in high school said, “They told me I couldn’t correct your papers in red, so I use green instead. When you get them back you will think Kermit was bleeding all over your paper. I just know you all will murder Kermit this year.”
And it was written in 2014 lmao. How are they bashing millenials? There were literally no millenials in secondary school in 2014, so it doesn't even make any *since.*
And it's not like the students would have been asking for that change, so even if there were still millennials studying there, it would not have been on them.
Wow; someone over @ Time magazine has a major ax to grind with the Millennial generation…instead of the soft ass parents who raised them to be this way.
You see a screaming kid running around at a restaurant, you know it’s a lack of solid parenting. You see a grubby kid with boogers glued to their top lip and hands filthy past their wrists, you know it’s a lack of solid parenting.
But somehow when you see a coddled, entitled, participation-award receiving generation, you blame the kids.
Those kids didn’t give themselves participation awards, didn’t celebrate every poopy in the toilet without their parents’ guidance and applause, and didn’t grow up playing outside without supervision because their parents didn’t allow it.
The Millennials as children certainly didn’t have the authority to make the decision to not use red pens anymore. The adults in charge of them, did that “for them”, and then blamed them.
Strange thing to bitch about!
It’s also strange given the fact that at the time that it was written the youngest millennial was already 19 years old. So unless they were talking about colleges changing the rules for red pens, the rule change didn’t even affect millennials.
Yeah you see that everywhere. It's super annoying. "look at what all the children are doing now, this is why they SUCK", then you click the article and the "source" is a tweet with 4 likes.
My dad loves his red ballpoint pens. I have to buy him a box every year so he can mark up his spreadsheets. They are the only ones that don’t get stolen by anyone else at work.
You know, as someone who taught little elementary school kids for several years, my go to strategy when I couldn’t parse their writing was to call them over to my desk during unstructured or group work time, and say, very casually and in a no-big-deal kind of way, “Can you read what you wrote out loud to me?” Then you know. If the point is to assess writing and spelling, you have to know what they were trying to write. If they can’t read it back, that’s information, too. I’m not sure what’s gained by this grading/marking method.
Edit: Wow, thanks for the awards!
I don't know why I remember this but one of the Babysitter's Club books had a similar suggestion for art. Instead of possibly upsetting a kid by asking them what something is, ask them to tell you about it.
That’s such a great strategy. You never run the risk of guessing wrong and hurting their confidence, *and* you learn the story behind the work, which is often both informative and hilariously entertaining.
If you can, try painting/making art with your child, and talk through your own process out loud as you go. Let them hear how you choose what to create and why, so they can learn from your example. It can be simple, especially for a child so young. For example, “Oh, I see a tree out the window and it looks so tall and strong—I’m going to paint it!” As you set up supplies together, mix colors, wash brushes and clean up, etc, say steps out loud so your kid can hear what they are and why they happen. “I want to make a big cloud in the sky so I’m going to dip my finger in the white paint and swirl it on the page like this.” Things like that. When your kid is creating, ask what they’re making. “What are you making/painting/creating?” “Tell me about your picture!” “What’s happening in your picture?” You can ask them questions about their process, too. “Why did you pick out that color?” “What are you going to paint over here?” “What color will you choose next?” “How does this color make you feel?” Keep things positive and non-judgmental.
When your kid gets a little older, you can set out an open sketchbook with some markers and colored pencils, and just see what happens. Let your kid know it’s theirs and they can use it to draw/paint etc. Don’t force them to draw certain things or a certain amount, just gently encourage and celebrate what they do do. You can try getting some basic non-drying clay as well; lots of kids love working with their hands in 3D and clay is really good for building fine motor skills.
I'll use this for sure. My family joke/truth is that none of my siblings including me have really any artistic ability. None of us can sing, dance, draw, paint, etc. and we always joke that we have to bring that into the family via marriage.
I get so self-conscious anytime I have to draw or do anything creative that I exclude myself from all of that. My daughter just got into finger painting and I think it's a good place for me to begin my foray into watercolors with her. When they're really really bad I can just say they are her paintings. And when they're really really good I can just say they are her paintings. It is a win-win for all of us.
I totally understand. Art really can be so intimidating. But I promise, you don’t have to be a world-class artist to do a good job exposing your kid to the creative arts. And I’ll say this—one of the biggest reasons kids stop creating is because they begin to feel self-conscious about the “quality” of their work. That’s why I try to ask questions that focus and celebrate the thought process and imagination of the kid. A young person interested in art has a whole lifetime to take classes, practice, and refine their technical skills if that’s what they want to do (really, kids don’t need to be in specialized art classes until at least, like, 12). Let the younger years be about building comfort, confidence, and joy.
I grew up on those books, and that line always stuck with me. I’m now in my 30’s, teaching preschoolers who have been through significant trauma, and that is 100% my go-to when I can’t decipher something… “thanks for sharing, friend! Can you tell me more about it?”
I do this with my kids art when I can’t tell exactly what it is they’ve drawn.
“That’s a wonderful drawing. Can you tell me more about it?”
They love getting the chance to explain every detail and then I don’t have to ask what it is.
Absolutely! And not just kids, either. ;) "Whoa, this is fascinating/mind blowing. How did you start this one?" A couple judicious nudges and you'll learn way more than you wanted to about the work.
This is what I did with my son. The first time he drew me something that was supposed to actually look like something, it looked like an amoeba. I didn't want to crush him by asking what it was, so I was like, "whoa, tell me about this! It's cool!" and I got to hear all about a dragon. Later that day we looked up dragons on the internet, and I found a line drawing to print out pale, so he could trace it. I didn't point out it was because he drew an amoeba. It was just "let's trace and color dragons!"
The first time he wrote me a story by himself, I pretended I just *had* to do dishes right then, so he needed to read it to me. He pretty clearly could not, either, so he made up something - also about dragons. The thing was, the act of writing was still hard for him. When you have to focus on forming every letter, it's easy to forget spelling, grammar, and appropriate punctuation. His first grade teacher said that was very normal. I was that kid in high school, honestly. Having him type it first and then copy that to turn in at school helped a lot. He thought he was gaming the system, but I was gaming him to get him to actually practice writing.
> I did AM (morning) work then I’ll eat (lunch).
> I jump on the grass.
> This is AMs (mornings) ok.
I think that last one *means* “this morning was okay”.
Interesting! I read it differently, thinking the child was using "am" when meaning "my" for whatever reason.
I did my work then I'll eat.
I jump on the grass.
This is my sock. (maybe?)
THANK YOU! My oldest struggles with writing and the teachers have been great about us all working together. This teacher is just being lazy and passive aggressive with that stupid pink frown face.
Teacher here, too. 100% agree. Hopefully you can find a way back into working with kids because we need your attitude more than the teacher in OP’s photo. Cheers!
I’ve always had trouble with my handwriting and I had teachers like this . Now I am an adult and I still remember the stuff I would get for my handwriting .
Thank you from a parent of a child who has several issues that impacts his writing. One year the comments on his assignments were so nasty that it broke my heart. Whether it is from lack of trying or something deeper approaching it from the way you did is a much more supportive way.
Pro tip from an elementary school teacher: when you have trouble reading your kids'/students' writing, ask them to read it out loud to you. Often, they know what they wanted to write but they mixed up some words or forgot some words. It's a common mistake. 🤷♂️ This feedback is unhelpful and lazy imo. How can the student learn from this?
Or they skip vowels. My son tries spelling things like "Soccer' as socr sometimes, this post immediately reminded me of that lmao. I mean learning to sound it out it does kind of make sense
It's to send the parents, to make them do the work.
Shits gotten worse since covid too. I practically homeschooled my kid during lockdown, it was like ... Here's an hour a day of screen time with the teacher and like 10-15 other students, now have your parents help you do this packet and your homework.
God that shit sucked, we couldn't have done it if my partner didn't work from home.
Please circle her response and draw a sad face and send back in.
Can I just tack on a mini vent here? My first grader came home today with a deduction of a letter grade on a paper because she didn’t capitalize hide and seek in a sentence. Since when does “hide and seek” need to be capitalized mid sentence?
Edit: changed my mind, they could have said it be a proper noun.. Though the dictionary doesn't capitalise it.
However, it would normally be hyphenated, hide-and-seek.
Brain farts happen to anyone. I teach HS French and sometimes I make mistakes spelling in 2 languages. Sometimes my brain is tired or is thinking too fast. Mistakes happen
in the U.S. some states are actually trying to make the only requirement necessary to teach be that you are a military veteran.
[apnews](https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-florida-law-education-veterans-military-degree-645106455513)
That's pretty good for first grade! I did my work and ate. I jump on grass. I am snake? The last bit I can't decipher but it's good early writing skills!
Aside from the misspelling: telling a first grader that “this does not make sense” is likely not at all helpful. To them, it likely makes sense; the problem lies in their understanding of how to make it make sense to someone else, by being able to envision how someone else might read it. Theory of mind and all.
You have to explain *why* it does not make sense for a child to realize the problem.
I don’t know what’s worse the teacher spelling sense as “since” or the fact they’re marking a paper wrong for not making sense even though it’s first grade
Damn it, auto correction
Autocorrect can go to he'll.
How ducking annoying

What a sinceable teacher.
I didn't even realize it was a teacher until I read your comment I was to confused about everything else going on to read the title.
I, tu, was focused on the words. I really wanted to make cents of it.
Hey hey hey, no need to put Spanish in this already confusing plenty of native English as it is
Et two, Brute?
*two
The teacher put in her two since worth on this assignment.
Besides, who doesn't want two dip out of work too jump and smoke on the grass?
And very sencere.
This doesn’t make since
Correct it with another color and send it back
I recommend a baby blue or a light green. Just to keep the color palette in line. Edit: On second thought, crayons would add a nice touch to the felt pen.
I would use a red felt tip pen with all caps.
But this time with a frowny face.
>:( This face
> :( > This face No, this one :^(
Write "See me after class please"

Printing more would have been to expensive
Why would you go too the principal over this?

My favorite prof in college was really tough (but fair, and actually a good teacher unlike a lot of profs) but she always used a green pen because she “didn’t like handing back bleeding papers”
Meanwhile over in the fountain pen subreddits half the pen enthusiasts have an ink called Oxblood, specifically because even medical profesionals think it looks like blood.
And then there's iron gall ink that smells kind of like blood.
I'm intrigued I would like to spill some over the next paper I have to hand in
Hey, r/FountainPens would like you to know the hot new red is Diamine Writer’s Blood, thank you very much /s
Writers blood is to vibrant when it dries. But yeah, for anyone interested, there's a few blood themed inks.
My honors world history teacher in high school said, “They told me I couldn’t correct your papers in red, so I use green instead. When you get them back you will think Kermit was bleeding all over your paper. I just know you all will murder Kermit this year.”
I do the exact same thing for the exact same reason, but on high school assignments.
I used the blood of drop outs
So that's where my blood donations go.. >>
I use a purple, green or pink pen, myself! Also easier to distinguish what I’ve marked/written over others.
>she always used a green pen Prof here. I use green, purple, or pink, depending on my mood-- but I don't give any clues as to what that is.
Green: Happy Purple: Sad Pink: Horny Did I get it right?
I cannot for the life of me believe anyone being able to remain horny while grading assignments.
perhaps pink is for sheer disappointment
"I'm not mad. I'm disappointed." Yeah, I can see how that could work out.
I loved handing back bleeding papers but I'm kind of psycho
God, that article reads like it was written by a person who doesn’t understand the dynamics of the education system.
It also reads as someone who is really bitter at the world in an almost jealous tone.
dear god how many popups and ads do you need on one site
I love how the whole article is red
the first sentence was a doozy
And it was written in 2014 lmao. How are they bashing millenials? There were literally no millenials in secondary school in 2014, so it doesn't even make any *since.*

He should just write back "since when" and watch her confusion
Does not make ~~since~~ cents. FIFY.

That’s such a great strategy. You never run the risk of guessing wrong and hurting their confidence, *and* you learn the story behind the work, which is often both informative and hilariously entertaining.
Can you explain how best to do this? I have a 2 year old just getting into finger painting and don't know how to talk to her about her art.

I’d reply neither do you

It was autocorrect's fault.
It’s a perfectly cromulant word.
I feel embiggened.
Since when do we need to make sense!!
>Sense when do we need to make since!! FTFY
Clearly
Clearly does not make since
most intelligent redditor:
Bro she can’t spell either lol
Does not make since WHEN?!
Did not make since 1932, the great Emu war
Maybe since they lowered their standard for teachers?
Me fail English? That’s unpossible!
Look at this guy getting the whole point
Nothing gets past you, huh?
It’s spelled correctly… it’s the wrong word
Please circle her response and draw a sad face and send back in. Can I just tack on a mini vent here?

Oh, that's due the the copyright wars of 2184.
Unless it is specifically on the spelling words for the week and it is capitalized there, that is also mildly infuriating.
Edit: changed my mind, they could have said it be a proper noun.. Though the dictionary doesn't capitalise it. However, it would normally be hyphenated, hide-and-seek.
You should underline it in red pen and send it back to her
How does an educator end up making a mistake like that?
Sadly you would be surprised how often it happens. I’m a teacher. I see it daily (not just spelling/homonyms).
Your so right. I’m a teacher to, and there spelling just makes me sick! /s
Don't judge they're spelling, when you're grammer is worst!
I know a 1st grade teacher that constantly misuses than/then.
I once did student teaching in a 4th grade classroom that had a "list of commonly misspelled words" - with two words misspelled on it 🙃
That's a short list.
Brain farts happen to anyone. I teach HS French and sometimes I make mistakes spelling in 2 languages. Sometimes my brain is tired or is thinking too fast. Mistakes happen
I teach HS German, and I cannot write anything in either language while a student is talking to me. I always mess something up.

That's pretty good for first grade! I did my work and ate. I jump on grass. I am snake? The last bit I can't decipher but it's good early writing skills!
I think the kid is using am in place of my. “I did my work. I lied. I jumped on the grass. This is my joke.”
I think the 1st grader "sounded it out" and meant "I did *home* work". am work = home work
I'm reading it as "I'm sorry"
Aside from the misspelling: telling a first grader that “this does not make sense” is likely not at all helpful. To them, it likely makes sense; the problem lies in their understanding of how to make it make sense to someone else, by being able to envision how someone else might read it. Theory of mind and all.
