well-metaphoricallyspeaking:
I never understood why itās an F if he gets more than half out of 100? Unless itās more than 100. If you get more than half the answers right how is it an F?
You must not be from America. Here, grading is fucked up.
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
And in some places in America it goes by a 7 point scale, so itād be
A - 100-93
B - 92-85
C - 84-78
D - 77-70
F - 69 and below
Now you understand why American kidās feel like thereās no point to school. If you have a 100 question text, and get 79 of them correct, thatās a C. That meanās your Average Intelligence on this particular subject. And it getās even worse when you have only likeā¦ a 10 question quiz. If you get two wrong? thatās a B. 80 fucking %. Now tell me again why American schoolās are easier?Ā
No wait but whats the grading system in other countries?
next time you try to tell americans that weāre stupid
that our āaverageā is your āAā
#is that true?
Yep I was shocked when I heard this in a different post but a Google search pulls up a ton of sites backing this up.
Shit son I woulda passed College Algebra with an A in the UK. And I spent the end of the semester in perpetual fear that I would fail and have to retake the class.
And basically as an American youāre expected to get 80 or higher. Technically 70s are considered āaverageā but there is such a level of pressure to get a B or higher, that Cs have become equal to Ds. Basically anything under 60 you might as well gotten a 0, and anything between 60-80 is considered practically failing. So basically schools have to be designed to make sure majority of students are getting 80s or higher on specific topics, which means youāre spending all your time going over a few choice facts a billion times and there is very little room to teach anything else. Which explains why American schools are of such low quality. The insane demand on the students ends up wrecking their education. Not only do you not have time to teach them anything, but they end up hating learning. Even outside of school your life is dedicated to memorizing these few dumb facts because your homework ends up taking hours of your time. A teacher from one subject says they expect you to spend 2 hours every night on their homework. And if youāre studying 5 subjects and they all demand that 2 hours? Good fucking luck, because if you donāt have straight all 80s or higher youāre not getting into a good college and college degrees have somehow become the minimum requirement for getting jobs.
I spent most of my junior year of high school in a state of constant panic that I was going to get a C in Honors Physics much less fail the class. If I got a C on my report card, I was grounded until the next one. I lost count of the times Iād wake up at five in the morning to take the early bus to go in for zero hour before school actually started for the day
File this under the exact reason so many Americans detest going to school.
Can I just let this here that as a Canadian, in my highschool. (Not sure bout other schools.)Itās written on your paper ā92%ā or ā73%ā and I mean getting over a 70 is like āWOAH YOU GREAT BRUHā if you get a 60 and are sad about it most people are like āHey friend itās great at least you passed, Iāll pass you my notes if you likeā
