I'm sorry mr WWW, but I have to take issue with a number of your points.
What exactly do you mean by 'You can rest assured that any figures used by a schools marketing department represent the VERY best case statistic'? Surely you are either employed or not and not in the Schrodinger state of either at the same time? I really think that such a bold remark requires some sort of explanation.
Maybe it's just me but it seems that you have an axe to grind with the integrated camp. Having suggested that the figures 'represent the VERY best case statistic' you fail to substantiate this with any evidence and then fall back to the rather limp excuse that employment has been rather positive recently. I'm struggling to see where this is going.
I appreciate that you are in a far more knowledgeable position than myself on this topic but I find your arguments less than persuasive.
Just my thoughts.
