Eh, Going to get my schedule soon. Going into 8th grade and I know for a fact I will have biology, and geometry. Heres to hoping for honors everything else.(All my teachers recommended me, Math teachers still a unknown but most likely I think he recommended me.)

I'm Australian, so we're more than half-way through our school year. Still, I'm in high school.

Yep, same. Year 10 to be more specific.

Oh, and that stupid American marking grade, you know, the 'A's, 'B's, ect, that's leaking into our system... gah, I prefer percentages myself. More accurate.

Yeah, I wish they did percentages in the state. But no they refuse, And use the stupid letter grades.

Ever noticed how the American grading system goes A,B,C,D,F ? What's up with that?

I believe it goes something like this:
A:90%-100%
B:80%-89%
C:70%-79%
D:60%-69%
F:=<59%

- Thanks to Wiki.

In Australia, in order to be politically correct, we don't have Fs. Instead, we've got Es, as the government reasons that you can't have not learned anything (and thus failed the course), if you attend, so Fs only get handed out rarely.

Its better when you get to university, everything from high school is useless and the government decides your too much of a threat and ensures through the bureaucracy that you'll be broke, starved, sick and owe them twice as much when you get round to graduating.
