Well it's nice to see that the QLD government and opposition aren't wasting time during parliament. What a joke.
Red pen too aggressive, Queensland teachers told

"TEACHERS have been told to stop marking schoolchildren's work with red pen because it is an "aggressive" colour.

Queensland's Deputy Opposition Leader Mark McArdle told parliament today that teachers were being advised to reconsider their pen choice because it may offend children"

"This doesn't go far enough. Kids' work should not be marked at all, because some of them might get upset at getting a bad result. I call for Labor to not allow marking and ban testing of students' work."

This.

What the FUCK?

Honestly, kids don't give a fuck to put in effort anymore because everyone's a winner these days.

You come last in a sports carnival and yet you still would receive a medal.

Insanity.
