The letter grade system is more ambiguous. He'd get an "A" but what does that mean exactly? It doesn't convey that he's doing better than curriculum taught.

It's obviously sugarcoating things on the lower end, come on. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, no one likes feeling like shit getting a failing grade but when the worst 'grade' lists only positive things then yeah, feelings are being spared. I'm not against this, for young kids I think it's a good system, but it's softer than it used to be, it's ok to admit that.
