Students find the program tedious and overwhelming. Questions that do not make sense or try to trick them is frustrating. The additional questions after incorrect answers adds to the frustration, leaving students discourages at the lack of progress. Students see NoRedInk as a punishment not a learning experience. NoRedInk is drill and kill at its worst. If you want your students to develop as writers NoRedInk only serves to kill interest. Grammar should not be a punishment.
