The same is also true of F and P. Indeed it is very difficult at times to draw the iine between any two of these grades. There are many students who mignt be called border line cases. The teacher often finds herself perplexed as to whether a student should be given a grade of Aor-B,BorC, Cor D, etc. It must not be understood that a student re- |. ceiving a grade of D, E, F or P has all the faults enumerated for these grades.

In the content subjects. such as Engusn, nistory, etc., there is even greater variation. Al- though teachers are most conscien- tious in the matter of awarding grades, we cannot entirely eliminate the human element that enters in, and this admits of a considerable probability of error.
