I was actually debating this with my ex-boyfriend’s little brother a little bit ago. At my high school we have a straight A, B, C, D, E scale. At his, they give pluses and minuses.

Good things about my school scale: less paranoid about grades, more interested in learning the material.
Bad things about my school scale: same grade if you have a 99% or a 90.0000%. Harder to differentiate between students in rankings.
