All schools in France have the grading system. The grading is done on a scale of 0 to 20, 20 being the best grade possible i.e. truly perfect. Overall, this system falls tough on students as hardly anyone gets a 20 or even 19. To add to it, teachers shout the grades when handing over some assignments. The bottom-line is that the low grades are no to improve you but to make you react strongly to aim higher.
