Why bother with the letter grades anyway if you just convert them to numbers? We have a system that works from 1 to 5 where 1 is not a passing grade and anything above that is. The average is then calculated normally.
I think it’s historic, I suspect the letter grades predate using GPA
To be honest, I didn’t even know we did GPA at all until after I got my high school transcript for applying to college. Our report cards gave us our percentage and a letter for each course
As the meme suggests, the whole system is pointless and frankly kind of foolish
