Many of you will remember news stories from a while back, about teachers using colors other than red to correct papers because too much red was traumatic.
Well, here it's a good thing. That's because the teacher is supposed to mark everything that's right (with a circle) along with everything that's wrong (with an X).
It took me awhile to get used to that. I knew about the X (batsu) and circle (maru), but I'm used to teachers only marking the things that are wrong. So now I draw circles all over students' papers too!
Sanrio, the folks that brought us Hello Kitty, have a character called Badtz-Maru (XO). He's a penguin with an attitude. You can't get as many things with Badtz-Maru on them as you can with Hello Kitty, of course.
