Happens a lot.  A friend of mine taught at a boys' high school that used to be 
classified as disadvantaged, so it got extra funding.  Then the bar got 
raised.  Because "only" 90% of the boys come from disadvantaged homes, they 
aren't *really* disadvantaged... that's 92%.

She had some amazing stories -- like the kid who wanted to go to jail when he 
grew up.  Every man in his extended family was there, you see -- it was just 
what men did.
