NJ/4th I like the idea of colored pencils and switching papers. I can overlook a couple of misspelled words, but I teach BSI students and often their spelling is so distracting that it's hard to tell what they're trying to say. There are nearly 1,000 students in my building and computer time is at a premium, so I can't have them type. Besides, they're muc...See More
