Grades for this 9 weeks.

A = 80% - 100%
B = 70% - 79%
C = 60% - 69%
D = 50% - 59%
F = 49% and below

Also, your school's grading system is fucked up. 91 shouldn't be a B.[/quote]

How much more difficult are Canadian schools compared to American ones? I would be ACING school with no effort with this type of grading system.

I felt the same when I saw that. Oh how much more I would be able to slack with a grading system like that. 20% is a pretty substantial cut to be worth an A for.

Holy shit man, an 80 is an A? Damn, that must make it a lot easier to do well. Here it's 90-100 and To my dad, pretty much anything below an A is an F so I'd be a LOT less stressed about my grades if that system was in place.

Actually, they're rather easy.

I don't do any work aside from some extremely easy tests and still get As .

Haha funny how you guys use a-f grades, we just have 1-10.
mostly it is: 1+9x(points got/max points), where 5.4 and lower is an F (I think).
I got 6's and 7's mostly, so that's not very good
I'm working on it though.
Your grades seem pretty high man, you shouldn't worry.

I never do homework. EVER.

It's extremely easy to get As, you just need to have a decent memory, pay attention, and don't bring cellphones. Most people who have them tend to fail.

Well maybe YOU have an awesome super mind or w/e, but most regular people like me have a hard time on school trying to keep up.
If I did havo (that's like a medium level) it would've been easier for me, and I would be swimming in A's. but for someone not as smart, havo would've been pretty hard.
So what I'm trying to say is, when it's extremely easy to get A's, why don't you try something harder?

lucky Canadians

What school do you go to? I am currently having a 70% average which is a B- in a Canadian University, the five month I was a an American University for exchange I got no lower than 90% in all my classes. These two schools are supposed to be sister schools of the two different countries.
