While most public K-12 schools operate on a ten-point grading scale, many schools in America do not. Students such as myself who are being graded on an eight-point scale (or any other scale) are being put at an extreme disadvantage when applying for college. College's just see letter grades, not percentages. Someone else's A would be my B. Everyone should have a fair and equal chance to show their knowledge and pursue education for a career.
