Probably - and probably for good reason :-D

Personally, in all innocence, I thought teachers marked in red pen, so you could distiguish it from your work.
Maybe they should mark in pencil. Then if the child doesn't like it, they can rub it out! :-|

BUT, are not the most terrifying words you have ever read "See Me" written in red ink?

If you sign anything in red ink it's said to be signed with blood..... :-0 :-S

There is no such thing as a disappointing win.

probably the same people who said no competetive sport as not winning might effect the poor darlings

Some years ago I was working on a trial children's magazine for use in schools (not in UK) and we were using (for economy) old illustration blocks and writing stories round them. However the boss of the firm had the same hang-up about the colour red for children- and we found he had changed all the colours before printing the first issue. Of course the follow up found the teachers saying how dull the colours were and children would have liked bright colours!

So, if a child likes red clothes? Does one automatically assume they're dangerous?

Are teachers to be banned from wearing red?
Is both the black (satanic thoughts) AND red paint to be removed from the painting corner.
All red lego bricks to be removed.

I could go on........

No tomatoes/tomato sauce to be seen in the dining room

The politically correct mob in their non jobs, paid no doubt by the taxpayer, never cease to amaze me. Next they will be telling kids not to breathe as it can spread germs :-|

What the parents of these kids should do is to have the kids do all their homework in red ink ;-)

Mayfield, I think you're right! - Contact them IMMEDIATELY!!!! Your poor Mum! Reminds me of when I was first married MANY moons ago and we lived in Falmouth. I had bought a bottle (glass) of Tom Ketchup which was perched in my inadequate string bag (remember those?) Yes, you've got it, the bag tipped as I put it over my shoulder, and CRASH, bye bye Tom Ketch, ALL over the pavement, running into the road, and heaven knows where else!! I've never forgotten it as I simply didn't know what to do,, so I ran away!!! how cowardly is that?! Well. I was only 21!!!

Perhaps the transfusion service should stop using clear bags in case the colour disturbs patients and causes staff to suffer Post-traumatic stress disorder as a result!


Mayfield,
PS Reminds me, my mum worked in hospital in the days that blood was in glass bottles she was a bit of a butterfingers at times and found one bottle of blood goes a long long way!!!

Dear oh dear, whatever next, how on earth will these poor 'hot house' plants cope when they are grown up and in the REAL world?, nervous breakdown time I should think!!!!!

Red ink is perfectly acceptable to colour-blind students.

Ummm ? So…….
Now can
we throw a wobble without problems ……….
at the next Red Utility Bill ?

'Researchers have suggested red is linked with warning, prohibition, caution, anger, embarrassment and being wrong'

Umm, being wrong - isn't that usually why teachers use red ink? What a pathetic generation we are rearing, unable to be told when they are wrong (or maybe that should be told when they are not right!!)

It beggars belief :-S :-|

Just a note ref, "Researchers have suggested red is linked with warning, prohibition"

Some government organisations use red ink for specific purposes

For example the forces use Red ink, Army forms such as a AF1033 issue/receipt form where the form is filled out in red it means the recipient has to paying for the item usually because he/she was negligent and lost the original item. :-0

I now never use red to write or even sign for any thing ;-)


Roy

One of which is well known on here. :-D

that well known organisation - "Idiots are us" - it has many members

A big Red One Barbs? I wonder who appoints these Weirdos? B nutters.Or suffering from possibly "Quangoitus" :-D :-D

Glad it made you smile Barb. The only thing to do with PC nutters is to take the mick out of them.
