if the education standard is sub par then the entire thing is failing, so having a worse education standard is indicative of a worse system

American higher education is better
Our K-12 systems are about the same
yeah, that I would not argue
you do infact have better higher education
yeah we're good at getting high
education
it is
vouch for these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Canada
probably?
we just give percentage grades
in highschool
so the letter grade has been irrelevant for me since like grade 6
all highschools
letter grades are not used at least in the waterloo region
cannot vouch beyond that
Do you think that was better?
No letters
I see no reason to use letters over percentages
I want to know exactly how I did
I don't give a shit if I was between a 95 and a 100
when i was in school i always got both a letter grade and a score grade of 0-100
I liked the idea, that you only had to try so hard
If you wanted an A, you work so hard for it
And are rewarded
Rather than handing out percentages
not sure what that is
We had something similar Max
GPA are the "points" you care about Pika
So a 1% difference, between 89 and 90
Big difference on GPA
we do not do GPA here
Is a D really passing though Max
what is the passing grade for you?
C for me, so a 70
You could get by with a 60-something
But you couldn't average down there
ghrek is in a different province
so I am not sure how different his system and experience is from mine
cannot vouch for any similarity
not sure where NL is from either
