Oversensitivity

Sometimes things just get a little out of hand...

The American school system has changed so much. From a little shack housing all grades and ruled by a strict schoolmarm to a sprawling estate for a few grades and ruled by children (complete with playground(s), field, gym, auditorium, etc.)

Who cares whether your test was graded in purple or red? A mistake is still a mistake and the kids should learn to DEAL with the fact that they got the wrong answer. There's a lot more to life to deal with than distressing red ink. ;|
