Question

What ever happened to an E grade? We have A,B,C,D,F but no E.?

Answer 1

There were some schools that graded E for Excellent, VG for Very Good, G for Good, F for Fair and U for Unacceptable. That caused the confusion, so E was omitted when the A-F grading system was implemented.

Answer 2

Guepie's answer shows a lot of thought!



I just see it as A (highest) and D (lowest) with F standing for Fail (a clear fail - i.e. plagiarism, an unattempted exercise, etc.)

Answer 3

E is for excellent and gets confused by stupid parents/students

Answer 4

F's were too easily turned into E's by cheating students.

Answer 5

i have e at my school an its a smart school also an ever one knows what it means so they didnt change it

Answer 6

what happend was tht smart kids told their gullibl rents tht e = excellence,kids get stupid and teachers figure out their lil plan.

Answer 7

it sucked
