why is it REAL/FAIR

Look at the Digit Range & Spacing between each + / _ / -
Outside of S-Class, E-Class, & F-Class which are special cases;
The + / _ / - ranges gives you a nice wide: 3 / 4 / 3 digit spread to allow you easily know exactly how well you did.

It's aligned along the traditional 10 digit to a letter grade range that most normal western grading systems follow, but the + / _ / - is wide enough so that you know you're in the approximate bottom / middle / upper of the Letter-Class at a instant glance.

The E-Class & F-Class spread let's you know how poorly you did because it's spread 10 digits apart.
But if you're doing that bad that you can't make it to S-Class, A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, or D-Class; then you need to work / study harder.

S-Class is designed to be special for students who can attain 100% or better.

It's designed to show you the fruits of your labor by not being easy to attain and assigned to every student.

The idea of F + and F- amuses me

"You failed but you failed really well!"
"You not only failed but you SUPER failed!"

At least you know exactly where you stand in terms of how bad you failed.
It's best to be honest.
Each E-Class & F-Class + / _ / - is a big 10-digit spread tier, so going past it to the regular: (S-Class, A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, or D-Class) is a HUGE accomplishment once you pull yourself out of that area.

I'm incredibly serious when it comes to Academic Studies and how well you place.
Those letter grades are supposed to have REAL meaning and is representative of your hard work / effort as a student.
It shouldn't be trivialized like the way the Canadian School Systems stack it.
