Please take a moment to look at the pens in pic related
Do you notice anything strange about them?
These are a set of pens that are used for essays in CommonCore classrooms.
What are they for?
Each color is used for different sections in essays
>Blue=Transitions
>Black=Topic sentences
>Red="Concrete details" aka facts and evidence
>Green=Commentary
As we all know, CC is said to have a heavy focus on "Muh feels" over real factual evidence. And I don't mean to jump to conclusions, but I think you might want to look at those pens again.
Why are facts in red while commentary (what you think) is in green? Do these colors stand for anything?
Why is the green pen such higher quality than all the others?

Teacher fag here, I'm not allowed to mark in red ink anymore because it's "too negative"
That's why it's green because it makes them feel better when they fail. When they should be shocked and then work hard to improve.
There are too many "muh feels" women in teaching now..

This might end up dumbing down tests, since instead of having the task of simply thinking and writing, they now have to constantly switch betweens and waste time categorising.
What I think is actually the purpose of it is so that they would be more receptive to garbage they are shoveled. Imagine any poster written in red, this colour will associate for them with fact because children at a young enough age will pretty much accept any bullshit they are told as long as it sounds nice.

The only "legit" reason to why the green pen is of a different quality would be because the manufacturer of the other pens didn't make green pens, which is very likely not true. The true reason is probably a trick to make the students want to use the green pen more, because it's better and fancier. That way they will have to write more "commentary", aka feels and shit, and less facts.
>>914936>imagine any poster written in red, this colour will associate for them with fact because children at a young enough age will pretty much accept any bullshit they are told as long as it sounds nice.This is a very likely another major reason why there's different colours. They'd use the colours correctly most of the times to condition people but would sneak in a lie or two in red whenever they'd like. That way it would be way harder for students to discern between actual facts and bullshit.

>>914040 (OP)Red is the color of blood and often used as a warning sign.
I understand what you're saying, OP. But, personally, I don't believe they even color coded the indoctrination. The "facts" being red is a bad sign, but far from problematic, kids may not come to the conclusion "Facts are bad, we must trust only in our feelings."
I hope I'm right, but we all know how sneaky those snakes are.

This is called assosiative behavior. By teaching children that these colors mean these things at an early age, they will carry on into later life. Lets put this into perspective.
Lets say we teach a kid from birth that all "facts" are written in red pen by the teacher. Now later in life, when ever that child sees red text, that person will be more willing to accept it as truth. It is a scheme to control us from birth to death with something as simple as colors.

>>915375Yes. There are very subtle ways of being able to associate things with other things. An easy example that happens to me is that if I read a magazine while listening to music, when I listen to that song in the future I'll think about the magazine or vice versa. By changing text colors in regards to different topics, you're wiring in the ideas between these colors regarding the subject.
How does this present itself as worrying? This could be exploited further. Imagine the skewed statistics given like the one in five women get sexually assaulted at colleges but now with an extra layer of reinforcement because it's now in red. Due to their wiring, the students that used the color coding will take this as absolute fact. This means that one could write out whatever they wanted in red and they would accept this as the absolute fact and truth.

Which CC standard is this?
Also, 1 in 8 males are color blind.
I can see the merit it being told to use this system to identify portions of a text, in the same way markings are used to graph sentences, but to use this in an essay is not conducive to teaching critical thinking or proper writing.
Children might learn not to think [citation needed] while reading, because if it's in red it's true.

The fact that the green is a different pen is also likely to 'I'm a special snowflake'.

Holy shit.
As a LoLfag this caught my eye. I'm not sure what the technical term for this stuff is but the head of the "Player Behavior Team" or whatever they are called has PHD and studied this and even implemented it in League of Legends.
Before each match either Tips or some sort of plea for maturity (ie. "Please don't flame your teammates" type of comments) come up on the loading screen. After awhile they started coming in different colours. The PHD (his alias is Lyte) has given lectures about it.
This shit is real…

>>927748Just realized what a horrible job I did of explaining my point.
So essentially Lyte studied the effects certain comments had.
ie. "Players who co-operate win more" in a control-group colour white.
Then that same phrase would be shown in Green and Red before the game and compared to the control-group.
