[anotherdad]

On behalf of the many lurking readers of this thread;

I wish to present ANOTHERDAD with the Oscar for best use of an unusual word within a Forum thread disagreement: “promulgated “.

Speech!

Anotherdad has won many of my secret forum awards! I quoted the "plural of anecdote is not data" from a while ago, yet again, just now.....

You're both very kind, but I have to acknowledge that the "plural of..." quote isn't my invention. I can't remember where I picked it up from but it was many years ago, possibly even from my statistics teacher, and it is so often the perfect riposte to a promulgated urban myth that I like to give it a dusting down every now and then.

Really?!
DS struggled hugely with NVR and this was reflected in his marks.[/quote]

Maybe NVR was not your DSs strong subject but it was for my DS and for a few of his friends!

It is all done and dusted now, no point dwelling on where a child did or didn't do so well.
So it actually doesn't matter now!
