Grades

Who has the best overall moyenne in Première L? Yes, that'd be me. Your moyenne is your average grade, and my overall average is the best in the class- though everyone says I don't count because so many of my assignments didn't count. Whatever. I love the system though! It's very difficult to explain the French grading system, but I'll attempt. First off, all scores are out of 20. And anything over a 10/20 is passing. And considered very good, its really hard to get high scores- if you get a 14/20, you are overjoyed. I got a 12/20 in PE (EPS) and I am thrilled. Its practically impossible to get a 20/20. Its hard for an American to grasp why someone would be happy with getting a 12/20 (60%), but its just SO HARD that that's great. To get your overall grade, they just take the average- so since I only really did one assignment in French class and got 20/20 on it I have a perfect grade in that class. Anyway, here are my first trimester grades:
Anglais Lv1: 19.1
Anglais Renforcé: 19.3
SVT (Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre): no grade, i didn't do anything
Pysique-Chimie: no grade for this one either
Maths Informatique: 14, 4 points higher than the best French student!
Français: 20
Espagnol: no grade
Histoire-Geographie: 13,3
Education Physique-Sport: 12- AMAZING! I'm so proud, I'm the fourth worst ranked badmitton player in my class and still managed to pass my final!
Overall Moyenne: 17,1

Job well done. I love my teachers for being so nice and not giving me 0s for all the work I didn't do.

Andy and I keep finding more issues we need to get over, but we're getting through and can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
