I have not ever received an “E” for Effort, in my educational experience.
I just googled “E for Effort.”
Here is Yahoo! Answers‘ explanation:
Is it A for effort or E for effort?
Best Answertichur answered four years agoA for effort or E for effort has nothing to do with spelling. “Old school” grades got confused with a newer, less objective system.
Old School
E – Excellent
VG – Very Good
G – Good
S – Satisfactory
F – Fail
Modern terminology
A – superior
B – Above average
C – Average
D – Below average
F – Fail
Effort grades have little to do with academic ones. Effort means earnest attempt to achieve.
A for effort and E for effort mean the same thing…superior or excellent attempt to learn.
I will now elucidate the reasons for this title, this morning. As I experience recovery from pneumonia, everything seems like “too much” of an effort. Every exertion, exercise, etc. I extend equals exhaustion exceeding my expectations.
Eeeeek! Look at how many E’s I was able to use in that last sentence! And, I am NOT exhausted.
Excellent!
Expressing my emotions and experience helps, extraordinarily.
