On 11-21-07 CAROL SHENKENBERGER Scribbled to DAVE DRUM about Grades

CS> DD> When I went to school 90 and above was an A (95 in some really
CS> DD> strict  parochial schools)

CS> DD> 80 to 89 was a B
CS> DD> 70 to 79 was a C
CS> DD> 60 to 69 was a D

CS> DD> Anything below 60 was an embarrassment. 

CS> DD> What actual percentages does your school system use?

CS>I don't recall the exact for the D but: 

CS>95-100=A
CS>85-90= B
CS>79-84= C
CS>78-? = D

CS>Charlotte ended up with 3 C's, 2 B's and 1 A.  2 of the C's were
CS>right on the  edge of B.  One of the B's was edge of A.  Charlotte
CS>got here just as several  projects were due in a week, which the
CS>other kids had 6 weeks to work on and she had only 1-2 weeks.

This prompted me to dig out an old (I am an old phart, remember) grading 
sheet that I somehow managed to preserve all these years. My memory was 
a bit off - Apparently to get an "A" took 92% or better, 82 to 91% 
gathered a B, 70 to 81% was good for a C and 60 or under was failing.

Some teachers further divided the letter grade ranges into thirds with 
plus and minus added to the letter ... depending on where in the range 
the score fell.

And we had one who never gave a 100 - even if every answer was correct. 
Theory being no one is perfect. It was suggested that she might be 
happier teaching religious students down at Our Lady of Perpetual PMS or 
something.
