Should the grade band of an A be shown?

Who is of the opinion that the exam certificate should show if a student has achieved an A1 at Higher or AH? By and large, scoring in the 70-100% bracket qualifies for an A, but that's a very large bracket and there's a real difference in aptitude between a student who scores 71% and a student who scores 89%. Given that a B is awarded at 60%, an A at 70% and an A1 at 85% (approx, of course), there's usually a larger difference between a B and an A than between an A2 and an A1, a situation I find very odd.

This seems especially counterproductive as university courses become more and more competitive. In England they've introduced the A* grade when typically, I believe, one needs 80% to score an A in any case. I can't think of any reason not to show the grade band a student achieves; an A2 will still be a very high grade, but an A1 will help to show which students are especially gifted in that subject.

This better be worth it...

My english teacher told us who got A1's and whoever did got a round of applause from the class haha.

I think that's fairly inappropriate...

How did that happen? Don't you start a new timetable with new subjects after study leave?
