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?
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 it’d be A - 100-93 B - 92-85 C - 84-78 D - 77-70 F - 69 and below
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?
No wait but whats the grading system in other countries?
UK Grading Scale
100-70: A
69-60: B
59-50: C
49-40: D
Below 40: F
next time you try to tell americans that we’re stupid
i’m gonna remind you
that our “average” is your “A”
#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 you’re expected to get 80 or higher. Technically 70s are considered ‘average’ 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 you’re 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 you’re studying 5 subjects and they all demand that 2 hours? Good fucking luck, because if you don’t have straight all 80s or higher you’re 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 I’d 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.

#coydog wake-up call. Got the sweetest snuggles from my older girl Luna Lovegood this morning. Just what we needed. 💚🥰#lunaslanding #lunalovegood #coydogsarethebest https://www.instagram.com/p/Btbfud0HEqidB06wjowG9k2vt4rlME2-vY30bY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ioulhizdqzz
When I was younger, I was sexually assaulted and hurt by this guy I grew up with. I flinch at people's touch. I'm afraid that no one will ever love me because I get nervous when someone gets intimately close. I have scars on my thighs from cutting. I feel as though it would be difficult to love me.
I understand the feeling.. I’ve been through this and I’ve never gone as far as kissing because I hate the near threads of myself.. literally. But, it time things will get better and eventually you’ll be with someone who only wants to protect you, never hurt you. You’re amazing and worthy of life. You need to remember that. Your scars are your battle wounds.. you’re a soldier. You’ll get knocked down a few times before you can actually stay grounded on your feet. I love you. Chin up soldier, the war is almost over.
BRat appreciation post. I don't know what I would do without my fur-nuggets, especially this little spitfire. Tyrion is the most hateful, demanding, and manipulative (not so) little chinchilla in the world,but he holds my fingers when we sing together and is always happy to see me (even if it is to shun me from the herd for allowing someone else to care for him in my absence). He plucks guitar strings and has better taste in music than anyone I know. He's always ready for kisses or snacks...or both. 10/10 would recommend a spoiled rotten little pain in the backside, thinks-he-can-ride the-dog, no good BRodent.
Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording—all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.
