This is partly due to the differences in the difficulty of getting a 4.0 in different schools, and party due to the differences in students. Maybe not a 4.0, but almost everything outside of math is memorization and basic effort, picking up the book instead of going to cliffnotes, etc. Kids have notoriously shitty work ethic. Severe learning disabilities and immigrants who do not know the language aside, anyone pulling below 3.5 is almost always lacking in the effort department. Math and some of the science courses that incorporate math are really the only thing where your brain is doing something other than regurgitating shit you had to read or memorize. It's not like you're doing real literary analysis in english, and the writing bar is so damn low that you have to be pretty lazy to fuck that up. obviously, this does not include AP, where teachers go out of their way to challenge you. But general and cp kid classes are not exactly challenging. | ||

In the U.S., the grades A,B,C,D for each class are converted to 4,3,2,1, and then the average across your high school career is taken. So a 4.0 means all A's and could range from 90-100%. A 4.0 is considered "perfect" grades. A 81% would roughly be a 2.7, but it's a very poor comparison considering the nature of the education system here. | ||

Under A-levels or IB, 81% could quite easily translate to 4.0. The US system uses comparatively high % boundaries for grades, balanced by how easy they are to achieve. | ||

Natural selection is like a catalyst, survival of the fittest and have lots of babies. And selection works through selective pressure, so maybe the kid wasn't in the wrong after all! | ||
