What do the grade markings mean to you?

My school goes by A-E.
And really, it makes more sense that way. People say that 'F'='fail' but that really doesn't hold true for the other letters. It just seems like a silly cultural thing that we refuse to get rid of.

If you don't know 50% of what you're studying, odds are you don't know it.

Did anyone ever have the E-G-S-N-U grading system in elementary school? Or was it just because I attended a crappy elementary school for six months before moving on?

yea, we had that here in wonderful Georgia.

I used to get grounded for getting a B.

My school actually goes by numbers rather than letters, but it's easy to convert. A+ = 100, A = 90 range, B = 80 range, etc. A fail is a 65 or lower.
