Somebody mentioned gerunds ? And not gerundives? Surely a distinction every schoolboy knows (well, they do if they do A level Latin).
It's a misguided attempt to stop children being discouraged. Let's face it, even 50 years ago,even able children could be disheartened and give up on the subject if constantly failing. The answer was to encourage them in what they could master in it and go on from there. But that's all right if they're in a Public School or prep school, with the resources for individual teaching for every pupil,if needed, and small classes anyway. Normal schools haven't got that available to them and are reduced to gimmicks like banning red ink, as if having purple or pink, or any other colour, on the work isn't discouraging.

This is very ancient and is not news. A good teacher will judge their pupils' nature and preferences and will know their capacity for constructive or aggressive criticism. 'marking' ie providing feedback isn't only done with a pen. And when it is, the pen is often one of many colours. Having said that some headteachers create school policies insisting that marking is done in red pen. Sometimes a student needs robust feedback, and sometimes they need gently chivvying along.
