I honestly don’t get the point with so many different grading systems. My school has the standard A,B,C,D,F system, with 90+=A, 80+=B, etc. An A is 4.0 unweighted, 5.0 weighted if applicable. So far, the system works out just fine. If you do manage to screw up your grade in the first few weeks, tough luck; nobody really cares. Changing the way we label failing grades doesn’t really change the fact that those grades are still considered failing.
