kind of makes me wonder sometimes

just how far we are going to take this whole self esteem thing. now, and F is an F, isn't it? that's as big a blow to your self esteem as you are going to get on a paper, isn't it? so why worry about the color of the pen used to grade the paper?

i think i'd be a little more concerned what my dad was going to say when i brought home the F than i was about whether the color was or was not threatening.
