End of the year grades?

Come on, let's hear em.

Trust me...high school is not the same as university!
I went from Straight A's in high school, to a 3.00-3.70 GPA in university. (B to A-)

Do you remember last year when u had I think it was a 99.4% average for comp science?

Have I told you, lately, that you can blow me?

Edit: For that matter, my whole [-peep-] company can blow me and burn in hell.

Hmm, that feels better.

Comp sci class was sooo fun this year- imagine sitting in the class before it, looking at the clock b/c u want to go to ur next class! I got a 100.0% in the class I liked it so much. So far I also have my honors english grade- barely made it, but I got an A- (the difference was .1 point off!!). That's the highest ever achieved. I think I may have messed up my math tho cause I just realized I did a really really dumb error on one of the problems, hoping they only take off a point.

My (long) list:

Dutch: 7
English: 8
French: 8 (a wonder!)
German: 8
History: 8
Geography: 8
Socialistics and politics (boring!): 7
Literature: 7
Math B1.2 (heaviest kind of math): 8
Physics 1.2 (ditto): 8
Chemics 1.2 (ditto): 8
Informatics: 8

Now to put this in the right perspectif to all those 99.9% marks:
<4 bad, bad very bad.
5 is unsufficient
6 is barely suffient
7 is sufficient and very commen
8 is good
9 is extremely good (very difficult to reach though)
10 is superb and as good as impossible to get.

Let me say I had the best list of probably the entire class... but how many times I spend to homework in a week? Maybe 2 hours if school's lucky. Ofocurse in test periods this is much higher.

Shocking, isn't it?

I also find it so amazing that every country has a very different way of grading a person. In Ontario, Canada we use percentage. 100% means 0 mistakes the whole year (or close, you can round up to 100% from say, 99.5%). Every year, at least one person in Ontario (which has a population of over 10 million people), gets at least 98 or 99% average (as in the overall average of all courses). You can also convert percentages to letter grades in Ontario

90+ = A+
85 to 89 = A
80 to 84 = A-
76 to 79 = B+
73 to 75 = B
70 to 72 = B-
.....etc, down to the Ds which is between 50 and 60%

anything below that I believe we call R? I'm not sure...

As for people in here have exceptional marks....it's no secret that most computer geeks are bright.

Intelligence is not merely the wealth of knowledge but the sum of perception, wisdom, and knowledge.

Haha, well it depends...arguably Ontario has raised their standards with a new curriculum. This means that it's a bit harder to get the same percentage than before although universities looked at percentages with face value for both those graduating from the old and the new curriculum this year.

Intelligence is not merely the wealth of knowledge but the sum of perception, wisdom, and knowledge.

Now, is Canadian education all scholastic? What I mean is that do all high school students take the same type of courses, or are there two sections, one scholastic/academic and the other vocational?

It's been a thought of mine for awhile that the US education system is in dire need of repair. I think that our education system should revert back to the old days where students after the 8th grade are given the choice between continuing their education for college, or being trained with vocational studies. We need to abandon this ridiculous dream that all children are going to go to college, so we should start doing something to actually help the people who don't go.

In my high school, every year there were about 1,500 new freshmen coming in, yet only about 300 seniors graduating. Of those, probably half or less went on to college. That is very disturbing. I am confident that if we gave these kids the option of 2 year job training rather than trying to force them 4 years of schooling they hate, more people would be prepared for the real world once they get out there.

Instead of teaching these people history they don't remember, science they don't care about, and english they never use, we should be teaching them how to repair cars, build houses, weld, be electricians, etc, etc, etc, teach them what they will eventually try to do on their own.

People, I'm gonna have to ask you to evacuate the premises NOW. We have a Dutch black sheep in the cattle! Imperfect!

Yes, it is...well at least Ontario is, education standards are managed by the provincial government not the federal government. In Ontario, we have three levels of courses....Ones are for university bound students, one for college bound students and one open to all students. They are all weighed as pecentages. University bound is the hardest, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for students to get 90%+ and therefore a mark over 90% is considered excellent. College bound classes are one level down...while they cover most, if not all the same material, they don't go into the same depth. Finally, there are the basic or open courses, these are either optional courses that are disregarded by postsecondary facilities or are for individuals looking into a job right out of high school.

All my courses are university bound. I've never taken any other courses so I can't make any claims about the other levels.

With that in mind, you'll get 100% for sure!

You're right actually! I wasn't thinking it was increasing in altitude and thus the outside pressure would be decreasing. I assumed he meant you just add more gas into the balloon.

I would've understood what you meant if you worded it more clearly. You should've explicitly mentioned it was increasing in altitude.

This marks are set to the Dutch Perfection Standards... there are different levels of perfection you know.

Well my ego just shot thru the roof . I found they wrote about me in the school newspaper and local newspaper cause of the stuff I won for my quantum stuff
Of course I forget that when I start worrying about how I did on finals and ap's, dammit, why they take so long to grade????

Yeah most likely.
