> Welcome aboard.> On the issue of test scores, I believe that the answer
would be for the US to adopt decimal grading systems for evaluation of
students.  I strongly believe it would be about time you guys abandon this
mediocre 4-alpha scale that has been plaguing North America.

There are places in the US that do use decimal grading systems,
and have been for many years.  I grew up in New York State,
and my school grades were always decimal based.
