Why is there no E?

[UglyCasanova]

Wtf?

 

[dug777]

maybe its a special (retarded) alphabet? 😉

 

[omniviper]

they probably said,

once you're past D (dumbass), you cant get any worse, hence you fail! mwahahaha

 

[pennylane]

I got an E on an essay for "international baccalaureate." It was the equivalent to an F.

Because E's for Excellent, dumbass.

That's what I was thinking, but is that the verified, bonified, true reason that is down in the text books?

E is used in New York for Excellent during grade school. I remember receiving E S or U/S for Excellent Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory. There might've been more, but i don't remember what.

Es are used in elementary school.

E excellent
S satisfactory
N needs improvement
U unsatisfactory

back home when I was in high school, we had E's and no F's. Does that make you happy?

A>=90
90>B>=80
80>C>=70
70>D>=60
60>E

No. 🙁

 

[DainBramaged]

A=Awesome
B=Bully
C=Colorless
D=Dumbass
F=Fapper

Vowels just aren't harsh enough to communicate complete and total inadequacy. They seem to work fine for "E"xcellence.

Edit: Or "A"wesomeness.

Definitely 😀

edit: I see you have a Powerbook. I also have a Powerbook. We seem to have a lot in common.

Q: Why is there no E on the standard grading scale?
A: Because the people who get enough of them to be eligible for complaining don't care. Come to think of it, nobody does.

<--P.S. 253, Oceanview Elementary School (or at least that's what it was called when I went there circa 1984 - 1989), Brighton Beach, New York.

The E (Excellent), G (Good), S (Satisfactory), N (Needs Improvement), U (Unsatisfactory) were actual grades.

by the time I got to California, i hit 6th grade (which was by now integrated with 7th and 8th as "junior highschool" or "middle school") and those E, G, S, N, U became conduct/citizenship grades (you know, for behavior and such) in addition to the A-F grades.

At Univ of Florida there are no F's, they just use A,B,C,D,E like it should be.

Actually, Baked is correct. In the first half of the twentieth century, an E was for excellent. When the ADCDF protocol was approved the E was left out for backward-compatibility.
