I should note, actually, that in many (if not all) schools, while a D is technically a passing grade (as aforementioned), it will not fulfill a student's major's requirements. EG if there was a major on Bird Photography and one of the required classes was "Bird Shooting 102: Avoiding Bird Shit" and a student got a D, they would either need to re-take the class or possibly need to change their major.

I'd pull my hair out if I got a D in bird photography...

I had no idea everybody had such different grading systems. Why don't you use the metric system?

In elementary here it was NI through E until I think around grade 6? NI = needs improvement, S = satisfactory, G = good, VG = very good, E = excellent. Then we moved onto regular A through F grading. In HS through university we got a number/percentage grade. HS would give the percentage along with the letter grade...the number obviously to break down how the letter was given.

Originally posted by Lira Yup, pretty much. 10 was awesome, 9 was okay, 8 was disgraceful, and anything lower than that would bring about serious consequences at home. So, yeah, there was nothing satisfying about numbers

Over here 1-10 and most important 6 = enough, 5 = just not enough.

Edit: actually we even got one decimal numbers and 5.5 average was enough to get a 6.
