The video, 'Beyond the Red Ink: Teacher's Comments Through' is about the comments teacher's make on student's papers through the year.  Students take things to heart and want to be appreciated for the time they have taken to finish their work.  Some students might feel like all the red markings on their paper are embaressing.  This could be a huge let down for students, and not make them want to try any harder.  Sometimes students take so long to try and figure out what the teacher's comments actually mean it could be like a whole class in itself.  Most students have the right to chose if they want to go into college or not, meaning if they are there they want to learn.  Wonderful comments from teachers are like gifts, and make a student want to keep going through the semester.  There always needs to be an equal balance thought, just to steer the student in the right direction.  This means leading off with a good comment and 'suggesting' to make some changes to help the paper become a stronger reading.  Suggesting gives the students some kind of control of their paper, so they don't feel like the whole paper was changed right before them.


(^Points made from the speakers in the video)

     I strongly agree with the whole concept of this video.  Students take teacher's comments to heart more than they probably should sometimes.  They should not worry so much, because most of the time the student does not know the exact way a teacher's comment should be taken into context anyways.  I would recommend this video to any student on campus.  It might help students to relax more and realize they might just be over-analyzing things at times.
