Life copies satire

Ed Balls, in a guest post over at Ross, yesterday:

The first group of young people to have been entirely educated under Labour pick up their GCSE results today. After they have found someone to read the results out to them they will find that more young people are succeeding than ever before.

The Daily Mirror, today:

A desperate mum will today read her son his GCSE results ...

I found a copy of last years Edexcel Maths GCSE paper this morning.

Question 5 :

(a) Write the number thirteen thousand, five hundred and ninety-one in figures.
(b) Write down the value of the 7 in the number 547 682
(c) Write the number 8183 to the nearest hundred.

As far as I remember (I'm getting on a bit), that was primary maths in my day.
