I know that it doesn't make sense, but if it did, it wouldn't be a Soviet hangover. Funnily enough, I got this quote when I was in Washingotn. I went to a cigar shop (I'm a big fan of cigars) and asked if the guy could recommend me anything. He asked me what I usually smoked, to which I replied: "Cuban". He answered: "Sorry we don't sell Cuban here, because of the embargos. I know it doesn't make any sense, but if it did, it wouldn't be American".
but i use to pass school without doing anything except homework after it was my time for bed (it sounded better). then i got into highschool. i risk being kicked from my 360 and computer.

Instead of getting marks from 0-5 (and a GPA out of 10, which we call Markreading, i.e. 9.28), as well as getting 2 grades per subject, one for effort (attitude in class, tidyness of work, etc) and one for achievement (what you actually get for test, homework, etc), you get a grade for achievement 0-10 and a grade for effort, which is either:
E = Excellent
S = Satisfactory
N = Needs Improvement
U = Unsatisfactory.
Yeah stupid I know. Also, it was an American school.
X - excellent
G - good
S - satisfactory
U - unsatisfactory
These didn't affect your GPA, but were more a reference to tutors, etc.
Complicated system, but it works really well. I hated it in lower grades when my effort grades pulled down my GPA.
