[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of red ink (PP FCPS alumna and English major), my English and US Government teachers used to return my essays and research papers and typed final exams with extensive, handwritten comments. Sometimes, we’d discuss these comments in class. This was a great way to learn with the teacher leaping up to further explain by example. You had to be brave to speak up and ask about your specific critique. Misspelled words would be circled. Teachers corrected with editing marks like stet and paragraph breaks and long comments in the margins. We had to learn editing marks, too. [/quote] 99.9% of current professions no longer use those editing marks. It’s not worth teaching the kids how to read them.[/quote]
