Red Ink too Scary for Kids in School!
I was never afraid of Red ink being on my test papers. I was afraid of the Belt that my father would lay upside my hine end when he saw the red ink.

When it comes to correcting papers and grading tests, purple is emerging as the new red.
"If you see a whole paper of red, it looks pretty frightening," said Sharon Carlson, a health and physical education teacher at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Northampton. "Purple stands out, but it doesn't look as scary as red."

All too true, but my dad is an auto shop teacher and that inch of calus on his hand hurt more than a belt. :(
This is going way too far......if this is true wont they just become conditioned to fear the purple ink?
Edit: Sorry Deb, missed your comment on the color of the ink.
