A bit different but same concept.
At University of Minnesota (and I'm sure other universities), all international graduate students have to take a class helping them adjust to life in the United States. One large portion of that class deals with being a teaching assistant. They are told not to use red pens because it makes students feel bad. Also, they tell them to avoid directly telling students that they are wrong, with a better alternative being "That is a good guess, but have you ever thought about it this way...."
Argh...
