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.

    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?
