[Listening Difficult] School Report

How are school grades determined at different levels of education in your country (e.g., test, quizzes, reports, participation, etc.)? How are grades listed on report cards? In the USA, letters are often used to indicate performance (A, A-, B+, etc.).

“hand in” = turn in or give an assignment to a teacher
“Don’t forget to hand in your homework at the end of class.”

“at the end of your rope” = no longer have the ability or patience to do something
“To be honest, I’m at the end of my rope. I’ve told these students repeatedly not to copy their assignments, but they don’t listen. I guess I’ll have to fail them.”
