犀牛手札133：给学校发个Report Card
6月的时候，有小孩子的家长们应该都会收到学校发的Report Card（成绩单）。通过成绩单，家长们可以很容易的了解孩子的成长情况，从而可以更好的配合学校，给予孩子适当的指导。
加拿大的菲莎学院（Fraser Institue）每年都会给全安省的所有中小学排名次。而每年的这个时候，也是我们家长和房产投资者精力最集中的时候。随着菲莎排名的影响日益扩大，参加排名的学校越来越多，到今年，小学的数量已经增加到3030所，高中的数量也已经增加到740所。面对这么多的学校，我们如何根据排名来判断学校的好坏呢？难到只有排名第一或者前十的学校的招生区域才能叫好校区吗？
为了更容易的理解学校的好坏，犀牛决定引入学校给学生评分的A、B、C、D、F字母系统，把所有得到A+的学校命名为好校区。下面这个表是Ryerson大学采用的分数转换表，而评判学校优秀与否，我也是用这个表来确定的：
| LETTER GRADES | PERFORMANCE DESIGNATION | GRADE POINTS | CONVERSION TO LETTER GRADES |
| A+ | EXCELLENT | 4.33 | 90-100%* |
| A | 4.00 | 85-89%* | |
| A- | 3.67 | 80-84% | |
| B+ | GOOD | 3.33 | 77-79% |
| B | 3.00 | 73-76% | |
| B- | 2.67 | 70-72% | |
| C+ | SATISFACTORY | 2.33 | 67-69% |
| C | 2.00 | 63-66% | |
| C- | 1.67 | 60-62% | |
| D+ | MARGINAL | 1.33 | 57-59% |
| D | 1.00 | 53-56% | |
| D- | 0.67 | 50-52% | |
| F | UNSATISFACTORY | 0 | 0-49% |
| F-S | REDEEMABLE FAILURE | 0 | NIL |
| FNA | FAILED FOR NON-ATTENDANCE | 0 | NIL |
*Effective January 2013 to August 2013, this scale was applied to all Faculties except the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science and the Faculty of Science.

经过这个表转化之后，我们会发现我们可以挑选的好校区大大增加了，小学有303所，高中有74所能得到A+，都是无可争议的好校区。所以，我们以后在给孩子挑选学校以及购买学区房的时候，不需要紧盯着Bayview SS、特鲁多、Bur Oak等等清华班和中印班了，可以把眼界放宽一些。我们要知道：在华人圈以外，还有大把大把的名校区，走出去，外面的世界更大、更广阔、更美好！
