Sorry! No lesson tomorrow- I will be in Stockholm with SA13

Very sorry! No final class tomorrow. I need to accompany the SA13 class on their Stockholm trip and assist Peter Bjursten.

If you want to talk about your grade please feel free to drop in today or next week.

(I won't be in school next Wednesday, but, otherwise I will be around).

With regard to your result, don't just look at the letter you get as a grade result- look at everything you have learnt and how your English has improved this year.

See English as a life skill in this globalized age where communication in English pervades many jobs and different walks of life.

Remember also the value of literature in the original language. Shakespeare's plays are an amazing mirror of today's society where so much is governed by a desire for power and money.

We can see that the struggle was the same over 400 years ago.

Finally I want to wish you every success in your continued studies/life choices...

There is a life after Leksand's Gymnasium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you finish off your time at the school please don't allow alcohol and other consciousness-changing substances to spoil the experience of saying farewell to many of the friends who you will carry with you throughout life.
Take care!

And finally..................

I want to leave you with the words of the Desiderata- a poem written by max Erhmann in 1927
