When writing homework in student days, it is inevitable to write typos. At this time, there are two commonly used methods: one is to cover up with correction fluid and continue to write on it. The advantage of the correction fluid is convenience, but the disadvantage is that the traces are too obvious, and the spots can be seen at a glance.
The other is to scrape the typo with a knife, or stick it off with tape, which is a physical elimination . The advantage of scraping off (sticking off) is that the traces are not obvious, and if the technology is good, it can even be faked, as if there is no write or miss. The disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high, the technical requirements are high, and the paper will be broken accidentally, because the small loses the big.
Of course, there are two other methods that are not commonly used: one is to directly replace the entire sheet of paper, and the other is to directly cross out the wrong place and continue to write next to it. The teacher in charge usually asks everyone to use the latter method, so that they can see the thinking process of the students and make corrections easier.
However, as students, how can we understand the teacher’s good intentions. After I made a mistake, I just wanted to try my best to hide it and try to avoid letting the teacher know about it—perhaps to maintain my self-esteem, for fear that the mistakes caused by “insufficient IQ” would be discovered.
