When you say straight A's, does that include A-?

An A- might not be a 4.0
So all As is different from a 4.0, depending on how a district calculates it.

If someone says, "my kid has straight As," you then say: "All A's or some A-'s?"

If they say the kid had any A-'s, you punch them in the face.

I needed this today. Thank you.

Okay. You destroyed my keyboard. Hope you are happy.

If you only got A minuses, I would say you have straight A minuses. So I would only say straight As for all As with no A minuses.

Bs and Cs will come soon enough. Don't worry about it.

Why do you say that?

My son recently informed me that while all C’s, do you get degrees all C minuses do not get degrees.

Why would you ever need to say “straight A’s”?

When someone says that you need all As to get into MIT, they probably don't mean that all A minuses is good enough. When someone says that you need all As to get into your state flagship, a few A minuses is probably ok

OP here. Not just asking for college applications.

When you say "My kid has straight A's", does that mean there are not A minuses?

Are you saying that including the A- depends on the context? And more so, if the context is college apps, it depends on the selectivity of the school?

See, I live a life where this information is not relevant to anyone, so I would not say this.

Do you not see the little minus sign next to the A? That is what you are missing. An A is an A. An A- is an A-. Straight A's means that you got only A's. If you got A's and A-'s, then you say that you got all A's and A-'s. Seems pretty simple to me.
