I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

It also does depend on what sort of average they mean.

Exactly half are going to be below the median.  roughly half are going to be below the mean unless there are some strong outliers.  The mode, if used broadly enough, is only going to fail outlying schools and it is possible  (although unlikely) that they meant those schools that fall below a generous mode.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable
