There are quite a few problems here, see comments below.

You are trying to convert the input to an integer.
But A-F will not convert so thats the first problem
right there.

And here you prompt for an A-F input not an integer.

This doesn't do what you think. It tests to see if Grade
is not equal to a tuple of values ('A','B','C','D','E','F')
You need to use 'in' instead. That will check whether
or not Grade is *one* of the values in the tuple.
if Grade not in 'A','B','C','D','E','F':

Taking out the conversion to int() would be a good start.
Then change the if test to use 'in'.
