One in six children in England struggles to write their name and with the alphabet after a year of primary school, government data shows.

Seems the writer of the article struggles as well.

"Girls outstripped boys at five"

I guess its funny if you like naked kids.... :confused:

Raist's find was much better.

I had to read that sentence about four times before I understood what it meant. The structure is horrendous, but I suppose that's just the way news articles are writ.

The caption is also quite... misleading.

If you quote something you should quote it all and not edit bits out.

Girls outstripped boys in all areas - by 17 percentage points in the case of writing

And we still get paid more than them :cool:

Oh. I stand corrected. Raists quote sucked.
