    You get an "E" for effort.

    Unless, that was a compliment. If not, "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" stands.

    Not in the public schools here. They use a 70-100 scale. And for some reason, they give Es instead of Fs. Not sure why.

    The public schools in my county give "Es" instead of "Fs". But they use the 60-100 scale.

    When I moved back down here from Maine, I had to adjust from the 70-100 and "Fs" instead of "Es".

    Not to continue the threadjack I started, but we had a 70-100 scale when I was in school ... 95 was an A, so you had to work your @$$ off.

    We have a 90-80-70-60 scale where I teach. It's amazing how lazy even the good students are, because you don't really have to work really hard to get the grade you want. If it's a D you want, you basically have to show up and write something intelligible on your homework assignments and maybe pass a test during the semester.

    Basically. I went to school, barely worked at it, studied a little and escaped HS with a 3.5 GPA (and we had three valedictorians in my class). My only hiccup was in AP American History. That class kicked my ASS...well, mostly the tests did. The tests during that class were harder than some of the tests I took in college.

    I got a 17/20, by the by. We had to take the full citizenship test (with no multiple choice) for our senior government class and I was astounded by how many people failed it. (And had to re-take it again...and again...and again. You couldn't get out of the class without passing the citizenship test.)

    I'm sure I knew more before the social studies test. :p

    I got an 80, but that's only because I'm not smart.
