I'm not insulting your abilities, doll, just pointing out the fundamental differences.

I wonder if they've changed the grading system now that they have eliminated OAC?
Side note: A guy in my english class received 100% in english. He had a 97%...the highest grade in any english class, but the rest of my OAC class was bombing...I had the second highest grade with and 81%. The department decided to give everyone an extra 3% to imporve the class averages. However, he wasn't going to get his 3% because they didn't want anyone to have 100% in english. After much complaining he got it. I'm glad he did. It was the principle.
P.S hijack here....but I love Carnation!!!
