I was just saying to my wife that I've avoided getting too mad at Achievement First themselves up to this point, but considering the number of times they've trotted this stat out, and how disarming it is... I'm feeling pretty burnt.

I think I'll open a 4 year college that accepts all comers with a $200 application fee.
