I know that some quarters blame "the system" for being rigged against ethnic minorities (and I suspect it is many ways), but I was interested that these show that poor white kids are getting worse exam results that poor non-white children - by a fairly significant margin.
And I suspect it's no real surprise to anyone that poorer kids of all backgrounds get worse results that wealthier kids.
I don't have a point - I just thought it was interesting.
