Grades continued… Grades of 17-20 are RARE.
17 out of 20 = 85%… this means that students are happy to get an 85%!
Teachers read the grades aloud in class as they pass back papers.

During summer vacation 60% of French students take a “cahier
de vacances” with them on vacation.
Do you do anything for school over the summer? (and is it by choice, not something assigned by a teacher?)
