Text - songofages I never understood why it's an F if he gets more than half out of 100? Unless it's more than 100. If you get more than half the answers right how is it an F? i-aint-even-bovvered You must not be from America. Here, grading is fucked up.

Text - wildembers There's an E in other grading scales? well-metaphoricallyspeaking And in some places in America it goes by a 7 point scale, so it'd be A - 100-93 B - 92-85 C - 84-78 D- 77-70 F- 69 and below

Text - flameoflight Now you understand why American kid's feel like there's no point to school. If you have a 100 question text, and get 79 of them correct, that's a C. That mean's your Average Intelligence on this particular subject. And it get's even worse when you have only like... a 10 question quiz. If you get two wrong? that's a B. 80 fucking %. Now tell me again why American school's are easier? gouthesupermanager No wait but whats the grading system in other countries?

Text - bubblegum-momoi-satsuki UK Grading Scale 100-70: A 69-60: B 59-50: C 49-40: D Below 40: F gouthesupermanager ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME?! THATS INSANE!!!! punkrockluna next time you try to tell americans that we're stupid i'm gonna remind you that our "average" is your “A"

Text - shrekiravevo French system: a grade on 20, 40 on big exams, 10 for short tests. There are no real levels but kids made them: above 15 is great, above 10 is good, above 5 is a bit low and under 5 is bad. We are only judged by our unofficial system we do by ourselves, teachers often announce an average on tests so you know how good you did. And it's better like this. i-am-a-bigger-fan-than-you If you want to know why the United States has one of the highest student depression/anxiety rates
