BiC Purple Round Stic Grip Ball Pen (Pack of 40)

Research shows that comments written in red ink can be perceived by students as like being shouted at, demotivating, discouraging, upsetting, harsh, confrontational, threatening, and could even be responsible for weakening teacher-student relations! Many educational authorities now recommend that teachers no longer use red ink pens for pupil assessment.A less harsh colour like the ink in this Purple Round Stic pen from BiC could be the perfect answer to the problem. The purple ink still stands out sufficiently from black and blue to be noticeable, but is much less likely to cause distress or offence.From the teacher's point of view, the pen has a comfortable grip-zone and smooth writing ink, both bound to reduce the stress of marking endless homework into the small hours.
