A Correction

The writer commited a serious error in yesterday's post. The sentence which read, '36% of students in 3º de ESO (approximately grade 10 in Canada or the U.S.) are in the year that "corresponds to their age"' lacked the word 'not'. The result, still mighty discouraging, is the opposite - 36%, and not 64%, have failed at least one year.

Our apologies.
