Wait. They used the E in the seventies and eighties when I was in school in Michigan… it was the lowest grade…the F existed, but it was like, if you didn’t finish your work or even try or whatevz, not a percentage correct like the other grades.
E was an absolute tho. There was no E plus or minus, though there was D minus.
Was this regional or something?
