Two parents unhappy with their kid's workload sign a formal 'no homework' contract. >> What they'll be marked on

-- Yahoo! Canada homepage on November 19, 2009

Their kid's workload means they have one kid, right? If they have two or more kids, it would be their kids' workload. Therefore, we've established that the parents have just one kid. But wait a second, what's with the they in what they'll be marked on? Clicking to the article - "Calgary family negotiates homework ban" - I find that the parents indeed have two kids. Methinks the editor at Yahoo! needs to monitor the website's writers as though they are grade-school students and be checking their work far more frequently.
