Punching Wholes into Parts, or Beating the Percentile Averages.
Carwile, Nancy R.
Educational Leadership, v47 n5 p79-80 Feb 1990
Presents a facetious, ingenious resolution to the percentile dilemma concerning above- and below-average test scores. If schools enrolled the same number of pigs as students and tested both groups, the pigs would fill up the bottom half and all children would rank in the top 50 percent. However, some wrinkles need to be ironed out! (MLH)
