Heartbreaking Simpsons Moments 1/∞: Bart Gets an F

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

oh wow that is fucked up

why do they skip E in america

There’s an E in other grading scales?

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

ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME?! THATS INSANE!!!!

next time you try to tell americans that we’re stupid

i’m gonna remind you

that our “average” is your “A”

Don’t even get me started. Although personally, I am more frustrated with the fact that A students are constantly put up on pedestals, and B/C students like me do not get any recognition for talents that cannot be tested through traditional education. And the fact that being an “average” student actually carries a negative connotation. It sucks even more if you have a disability and are expected to compensate for your limitations.

So I’m an early childhood education major, and the amount of shit that we make 5 year old’s go through is appalling. The amount of information a kindergartner needs to know in 2014 is the same as 3rd graders in 1980. 8th graders now are taking college-level courses from 1975. So the next time a baby boomer spouts about how children are lazy, throw this information in their face.
