Intriguing and Perfectly Cromulent Simpsons Facts

Resilient Trees that Don't Give A Heck

Trees seem incapable of caring where they are or what they're doing. And we respect them for that. They could be on a cliff, in a pole, or be a hungry tree enveloping stuff and they wouldn't even give a rip. Not only do trees not care, sometimes people don't give a heck, and the results are wild.

2.

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.

3.

Text - heruut Average American Grading Scale: A+- 97-100 A - 94-96 A- - 90-93 B- 80-89 C- 70-79 D- 60-69 F- 59 and under insanenerdfish oh wow that is fucked up relahvant why do they skip E in america

4.

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

5.

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?

6.

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"

7.

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
