I used to have a teacher (and multiple others since then) back in the 90s who also used the same squiggly to indicate correct answers. Not sure what the origin is, but I’ve also used it since
That’s interesting. I had the exact opposite experience in the same timeframe. Those are X’s written really fast and the pen doesn’t leave the page. I’ve only ever seen those marks used to indicate incorrect answers.
Yeah when I was in school it was X for wrong (with the loop as pictured) and check marks for correct.
And a check mark can certainly look like a V when going fast.

Now that I think about it, maybe the “correct” ones were rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, in which case I guess it might mean a quickly drawn V?
