Mitt Romney has been mocked for suggesting he could have got an “E” letter grade. But according to a copy of his freshman year report card he could in fact have gotten an “E” letter grade.
Booyah!
I say great! :D
University of Florida gives E’s in place of F’s. Can’t have someone being called a failure.
Who takes art in high school? As far as his genetics, he couldn’t be luckier to be born into the Romney clan.
LOL!
It looks like Obama set an Ivy league schhkkooool record! LoL.
Obama Got Worst Grades in Harvard History -- and It's Up to Him to Prove He Didn't
E grades were still given out when I was in school in the 90s.
In fact I actually got one in 9th grade Earth Science one marking period. I was so embarrassed that I vowed never again to slack off like that.
That grade went from an E to A in 6 weeks.
These days, everybody gets a trophy and mediocrity is not only tolerated but is the norm.
Btw who would “mock” that it was a possibility?
It’s part of the common grading scale throughout Michigan.
That’s a plain funny report card.
“We need a B- Student for President!”
Yea but he only got a C in French! ;-)
Do you see an “E”? I don’t see an “E”. You Romney haters are going to have to try harder. Contact your leader Harry Reid for further instructions.
The grading scale is at the top part of the second picture. It was possible for him to get an E, he obviously did not.
The French teacher’s initials are HRC...hmmm.
Yes, I know Mitt is 7 months older than the Hildabeast.
Was he known as “Mitt” back then? I guess it seems different they didn’t use his real first name.
I was a student in the Detroit system, with an A-E grading scale. The first time I heard someone say their grading scale was A B C D F, I thought that was nonsensical, as if they didn’t know the alphabet! I realize F could stand for fail, but the other letters grades are not alliterative, so why should the “F” be?
I don't see an "E". It appears he was a pretty good kid. Am I missing something?

Cool. Now show me Obama’s grades.
Hell, I failed Latin my sophmore year - did not want to pick up nuns anyway! ;)
Let the nation see your academic records, Obama. How do they stack up to Romney's record of achievement in college?
Governor Romney received his B.A., with Highest Honors, from Brigham Young University in 1971. Romney was BYU graduating class valedictorian with a 3.97 GPA.
In 1975, he was awarded an MBA from Harvard Business School, where he was named a Baker Scholar, and a Juris Doctorate, cum laude, from Harvard Law School. The top academic honor at Harvard Business School is the Baker Scholar designation (High Distinction), given to the top 5% of the graduating MBA class.
Mitt Romney studied under a dual MBA/JD degree program at Harvard and graduated with honors in just four years with both degrees. The MBA degree and JD degree program at Harvard normally require two and three years, respectively. Out of Mitt Romney's 800 business school classmates and 550 law school classmates, only 15 earned degrees through the dual program.
If the leftist jackals want to start an argument over who is the more intelligent of the two men, they will fail miserably.
We used to get E’s back in the sixties. I remember one guy saying he got an “Old McDonald”. Of course ‘I’ was incomplete, and ‘O’ was “absent from final exam”. F’s were still possible, meaning “Failure with prejudice”, but of course were rarely given.
This headline and “article” makes zero sense. He didn’t make an E. Yes the grading system contains E for failing. so friggin’ what. Obama could have flunked out of Harvard. The world could have been hit by a comet last month ... but it didn’t.
“If the leftist jackals want to start an argument over who is the more intelligent of the two men, they will fail miserably.”
But you are assuming that the leftists will base their argument on facts, which are clearly against their guy, rather than on feelings, in which case they “win” the argument.
Everyone in the MSM “knows” that Obama is sooo brilliant because he spouts all of the same drivel they believe, therefore, he doesn’t have to prove anything to them.
So, all this nonsense of grades and honors received isn’t worth their precious time to investigate - because if it turns out that Obama is actually an affirmative action baby who never should have even been admitted to the schools he attended, what does that say about them?
E, I, E, I, O - That’s impressive. Is he still alive?
” As far as his genetics, he couldn’t be luckier to be born into the Romney clan.”
THE REALLY LUCKY peeps get born into the Affirmative Action klan, like our Affirmative Action Prez.
I got an “F” one grading term in girl’s phys ed, of all things. We were learning how to square dance. Dancing with another girl was something I decided I didn’t want any part of and refused to participate. Even though I had A’s in Trig, Chemistry and English, my parents still grounded me.
Not only that, Obama paid no taxes during the entire ten years he spent at Harvard Law. It’s up to him to prove different.
Is this freshman high school ???
The grades arent bad..
B average
Wheres the E ???
Well,I got quite a few E grades and am proud of it!!!
Did I mention that in the Catholic school I attended E stood for Excellent (96-100%)?
I Agree
When I went to school in New Zealand we had A-E in hiogh school but the elementry school was 1=5
The way they graded was the top 2 got A the bottom 2 got E
A certain % after the top got B and the bottom got D
The squishy miggle got C
So it would go some thing like
50 students (Yes and only 1 teacher)
Top 2 A
next 20% or 10 B
Middle or 26 C
next 20% or 10 D
Bottom 2 E

Who takes art in high school?

I got As...
My daughter gets one every 9 weeks and interim ones at 4.5 weeks - has been since kindergarten and she starts HS next month.
Grading is pretty tough here as well - 85 is a "C"
I wonder how many straight A students in his class went on to make hundreds of millions. I suspect that his grades didn’t hold him back.
This is kinda fun: http://www.strategicbusinessteam.com/successful-entrepreneurs/the-worlds-richest-school-drop-out-billionaires/
Don’t ever underestimate those that, for one reason or another, took a different road.
I have my story, and I have no regrets. ;>)

The ‘E’ is in the grading scale on the second image. The point was Romney really could’ve gotten an “E” letter grade while he did not in these images.
As I understand it, Harvard teachers generally do not give anyone low grades -- especially to an Affirmative Action student. No joke.
Yes,let’s see obama’s grades, now that we can see Mitten’s grades. Why have the liberals in the Universities he attended not leaked brilliant obammy’s information, I wonder.
This brings up Obama’s hiding of all his background information, so Obama’s media had best tread softly!
“I don’t see an “E”. It appears he was a pretty good kid. Am I missing something?”
I don’t see it either. I guess this was just an exercise. I thought it was going to be some new BS from Harry Reid.
E is in the key for letter grades on the document.
Thank you RW. I had a case of tunnel vision. I was only looking at his actual grades.
When I was in elementary school the grades were.. E..S...or U.
E was excellent.
