Hmm. It doesn't mean much.
In Morocco if you get 11 out of 20 you are considered alright/average and at 16/20 you're quite brilliant but then again teachers don't usually give high grades. It's not a simple system
SW-User
@lookingForLostFriendHere I didn't think or believe anything because I don't really care.
@SW-User she not very friendly, though. I was awestruck by her good looks and not in a perverted way, then she calls me shallow. Isn't that kinda the same thing as 'making assumptions'? Anyway, I guess they say you can't really have it all
SW-User
@lookingForLostFriendHere Hey you. f you were respectful I'd have been nice. You were trying to paint me as a liar. Go through this whole verification system and get your account and pictures verified by the mods then let's talk about it again. The amount of shallowness you displayed was incredible. You expect people who look a certain way to act a certain way. Why don't I have the right to be here like any "normal" person? Why do I have to be "dressing up" 24/7 as if I was a lifeless mannequin?

SW-User
That's the exact same grading scale my high school used but without plus or minuses.

94-100 A
86-93 B
78-85 C
70-77 D
69 and Below E (we didn't have F's)
Laughoften · M
That's the way it is here.
SW-User
@Laughoften US considers 60s as D, no?
Laughoften · M
@SW-User each state sets their own standards. Not universal
SW-User
@Laughoften

They kind of do. This is from the US Department of Education

Here, over 14/20 is considered a good grade. But good grades aren’t given easily. It’s a failing system. Most students repeat classes multiple times. It’s common to see students repeating 3 times their first year of college. And average grade would be 10-11/20
Everything is based on grades and students work for grades.
SW-User
@SW-User Is it common for Korean students to fail/drop out ?
SW-User
@SW-User Nooooo hahahaha I mean, it happens but rarely because it's pretty much societal suicide.
SW-User
@SW-User Okay. Here it’s freaking common. So I would say it’s hard but we don’t pressure ourselves, loool.

Either the exams are multiple choice or extremely easy
@SW-User the most successful nations in the world don't work that hard. What are you trying to do?
SW-User
@lookingForLostFriendHere Hahaha it's the Korean school system. I'm not trying to do anything
@SW-User I mean your nation. Why is it overworking kids?
BethA · F
Yuppers my grades would still be the same 😁
SW-User
@BethA Nice
SW-User
It was exactly like my school's grading system, but that was the 80s and 90s it could be different now for the young ones
SW-User
@SW-User yup it's way easier now

SW-User
@SW-User hahahaha
SW-User
I don't know how it's like and this picture doesn't show enough information 🤔
SW-User
@SW-User Like what?
SW-User
@SW-User Like how the whole system works, based on what criterias are students being evaluated, what subjects exactly do they study and how do they study it?... there are too many factors..
SW-User
@SW-User Hahahaha I could get into detail but that wasn't the point here.
MartinII · 70-79, M
All in favour of high standards. Rumour has it that Korean schools use corporal punishment. Is that true, do you know?
SW-User
@MartinII It's allowed but that doesn't mean they use it.


Many schools have banned that corporal punishment. It's just an outdated law that would be changed.
ShepherdBard · 31-35, M
Yea but I wouldn’t be an honor student
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@ShepherdBard better bring those grades up
ShepherdBard · 31-35, M
@deadgerbil not all of us use cheat sheets 😒
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@ShepherdBard 👀 I gotta go 🏃
That's the system I had back at university. A 70 would be a pass and anything below that would be a failure. They had instated this because they wanted students to truly deserve their grade.

You don't get B's and A's unless you're either abnormally dedicated like I was (I studied 13 to 14 hours a day consistently) or you are some gifted genius (like my ex girlfriend who graduated as a doctor with a summa cum laude, achieving an A+ (100%) in each and every exam, even in surgery). Hell, even getting a D was hard as hell! I gave up my social life to maintain that kind of credentials..

The only time at uni I got a B both in Accounting and in Law was when I obsessively studied every single source there was to find on the subject matter (university peer reviewed journals, the news, books on the fundamentals, online resources, etc). The B in Accounting cost me.. an entire year of studying every single detail on Accounting in insane obsession, reading every accounting book, from origins to modern practice, studying 4 months with a private tutor and so on. I did the same for Law.

It's a very tough system.
goagainsttheflow · 31-35, F
I thought some states had that grading system? Or at least used to?
SW-User
@goagainsttheflow nope. Not according to the US Department of Education
SW-User
Yeah. Isn't this pretty much normal, though?
SW-User
@SW-User Not really hahaha Japan isn't as bad
SW-User
@SW-User Looks like Japan has standard American scores.
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
That was the grade scale when I was in school. Back when we chiseled our answers in stone.
SW-User
I've dealt with all sorts of grading systems and never had an issue.
SW-User
That’s what my school’s grading system was and I survived it 🤷‍♂️
Nomad7 · 26-30, M
I can survive the Japanese education system
SW-User
@Nomad7
Don't seem that bad

Nomad7 · 26-30, M
@SW-User The Japanese syllabus and marking strictness makes it the toughest curriculum in the world
4meAndyou · F
I would be a B- to B+ student. I would survive.
westwiiler · 51-55, M
That's what mine was in the 80's
It is the same as my part of USA
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
I'd be able to lol
SW-User
SW-User
yes, but would I survive asian parents? O_o
SW-User
@SW-User hahahaha Are you not Asian?
SW-User
@SW-User yep XDDDDD

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
That's the same as in Sweden, although we do not have + or -.
