I remember from my high school days one of my teachers told me that one of the top private schools would manipulate the stats by only allowing the top students to sit the exams. This made their pass rate very high. Our ordinary suburban school trounced them if you measured the pass rate as a percentage of all students. BTW I don't know if that's actually true or not but I'm cynical enough to find it entirely plausible :) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
