School District Drops 'D' Grades
Students in one New Jersey school district will no longer be able to squeak by in class after the Morris County School Board approved dropping the D grade. Beginning in the fall students who don't get a C or higher will get an F on their report card. "I'm tired of kids coming to school and not learning and getting credit for it," said Superintendent Larrie Reynolds in a Daily Record report.

That brings me to an interesting point, / . is just "the ramblings of socially-inept, technology-literate news-mongers".
Quick warning here, by correcting yourself you significantly reduce the odds of entertaining replies, thus reducing the odds of a coffee-spew-on-screen, thus reducing the number of new monitors needed. You sir, are wrecking the economy.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
I hate it when people make scales to grade something on, and then never use the damn entirety of the scale.
That, good sir, is because this scale can only be played in dropped D.
They are not getting rid of 'F's they are getting rid of 'D's.
You have earned a 'D' for reading comprehension; And I think you know what 'D' means now...

I (4) your point. At least, there's certainly nothing to (2) about it :)
Bark less. Wag more.
Or maybe they could assign letter grades, like A B C D and F.....
