+276 Who decided that in letter grades that E was unworthy and therefore excluded from the rest of the letter grades? amirite?

I'm not sure, but in my elementary school, we weren't graded on classes like art. We just got an E for excellent, a G for good, or a NW for needs work. It could be that E was skipped because of something like this.

My school was similiar. In K-2 it was E for Excellent, S for Satisfactoy, N for Needs work, and U for Unsatisfactory. I can't remember the difference between the last two though.

In England our grading system (for GCSE's and A levels) is: A*, A, B, C, D, E, F, and U.

U means ungraded. So anything worthy of any credit is A*-F

Our school in east anglia also has G for the people who can't quite make the grade but their paper isnt quite ungradeable.

In our school, you can get an E last term if your grade's between like a 60 and a 50 or something, and it means "eligible for summer school."

Where I am, E is the best you can get! It stands for Excellence.

For one of my online courses last year they gave E's instead of F's, it was really weird but it makes you feel slightly less terrible about failure, F seems so harsh sometimes
