My view on #Edusky 🎓is that if we really want this community to function well, we need to lay off the like button.

Hit Repost or quote post to raise the voices of others, but most of all reply - get involved. Even if its only to say you agree, or like the sound of it.

Whilst on holiday I read 'The Grapes of Wrath' - don't know why I had avoided it for so long. Must have been something to do with reading 'Of Mice and Men' at school. Anyway, I bloody loved it and can't wait to start 'East of Eden'. Funny how pre-conceived ideas can stop you from doing something!

My school doesn't have a sixth form but for those who do - what were results like this year? As expected? Any emerging trends?

I didn't really grow up listening to english-language music so it took me a while to discover lots of the classics.

Because I'd heard one of her songs on the radio, this was the first album I bought and loved (still do).
