Children can apparently be scarred for life from reading comments in red ink, so green is encouraged as a calming colour...and no words like 'see me!!' are allowed. At least, this is what I was taught when doing teacher training in the mid 2000's.

We were also encouraged not to put a cross by any answers - just give the correct answer and only use ticks, not crosses.

I remember having 'see me!' written on a few of my pages, and also 'date!!??' if I forgot the date. Also 'this is not good enough!!'.
