I did percentages at primary school, so I very much doubt it's true. Fair enough, I did my A Levels coming up to five years ago, but I refuse to believe that the education system has changed so dramatically that percentages are taught at least seven years further down the line than when I did them.
I rather suspect PorkSausage is having a pop at the popular subject of the state of the education system in this country.
