| A: | Look, Jimmy’s report came today. |
| |
| B: | Let’s have a look. What is this? Where are all the grades? |
| |
| A: | He’s in the third grade Sam! You see under each subject that he is being taught in school, he receives a mark from one to three. A one means his achievement or work is excellent. Here in Science for example he got a two, which means its satisfactory. |
| |
| B: | What about here in physical education? |
| |
| A: | He got a three here which means it’s unsatisfactory. We should work on that with him. |
| |
| B: | So confusing! In my day we got an A or B if we were doing well and if we failed an exam we would get an F! |
