Lifestyle - 'Work marked in red harmful to psyche'

SYDNEY: Teachers using red pen to mark students' work could be harming their psyche as the colour is too aggressive, according to education

The "Good Mental Health Rocks" kit, which was distributed this month to about 30 schools in Queensland state, offers strategies such as "don't mark in red pen (which can be seen as aggressive) - use a different colour."
