How are your grades so far?

[Mushlafa]

uhm... my marks go something like this

accounting - 25%
English- 34%
Math - 1%
and chemistry - 31%

which adds up to a whopping 22.8% average....

Okay here's how my gade scale works to the best of my knowledge...

I think the highest possible GPA you could get is like 17 or 18. Thats if you have 7 courses, all honors classes, getting perfect 100's in all of them. My GPA of 12 is good, definatley in the upper half of my class, but since im in no honors classes, its really not as good as it might sound...or something...

Wow, you guys have some teachers that actually allow students to get 95+?

My English teacher has stated that he thinks 90 is DAMN NEAR perfection and the highest grade he's ever given out on a final report card is 86. On the mid-term class list, one girl has 86...one has 84...I have 82, and the next highest I think is 76.

When my dad was in school...the highest average from his high school graduating class was like 89%.

[Dylflon]

Spanish 11 - 85%
English Honors 11 - 80%
Film Making 11 - 87%
Biology 11 - 72%

I could be doing better. I should do my homework. But I have a big Spanish project to hand in, a speech in english, i just handed in an extra credit project in Film and I have a huge test in Bio so my marks are probably going up this week.

Wow... Your English teacher sucks.

That's kind of ridiculous for a teacher to just decide to cap the marks of his students at 90. If the students can get 95 or whatever, they should be rewarded with those marks.

(H) Physics:: A
Marketing 3: A
(H) Trig/Pre-Calc: A
English 11: B+
Intro to Auto Technology: D+
Writing for Publication: A


Despite how long the Intro to Auto teacher has been teaching... he doesn't know what he's doing (or at least I assume that's so, because the students don't know what they're doing).

I agree...but our school is one of the best in Canada in a couple areas, so I can't argue with the system.

They look at it this way:

Provincial Standards (Ontario has high standards compared to the rest of Canada, Britian and the United States in general I think) are 70-79. So that's a "good mark". Anything higher is exceeding the provincial standards...so I guess 90+ is pretty damn good. Either way...it tells me that 82 is a damn good mark, especially for his class. I bet the class average is right around 70.

Private School?

90%+ in America isn't as difficult as in Canada, apparently. To compensate for this, the teachers have raised the requirements for grade letters.

87-89% = B+
90-93% = A-
94-100% = A

Lots of places are getting rid of "A+", supposedly.

And since GPA is based on letter grades and not percentages, we don't get any benefit from the "easy 95%".
