Sure, original quotes:
> one in five children in primary schools at the age of 11 are leaving primary school without the national average
> "good" requires pupil performance to exceed the national average, and all schools must be good
I'm sure there was a certain minister who stood up in parliament declaring it to be an outrage that 50% of our children scored below average but I'm struggling to find a reference, partly because politicians keep making this same gaffe.
My point with the original "quote" ('"quote"' is not a quote either) was to illustrate the absurdity of these types of headlines. They're made all the time and they're always ridiculous.
