Like everything in life, all comes to an end. We are not inmortal. Rachnar went to Valhalla, Nadal will soon stop playing tennis and this year has been the last one your damned English teacher has taught in Bachillerato. Younger and stronger generations are to come and take the lead, as the normal process we find in any generational replacement. This is the so-called Circle of Life, which they referred to in The Lion King.
Years have been tough and I'm proud of the students I have had. I know everybody, students and me, could have done much better, but at least me, I tried my best. It is time just to fight smaller battles at ESO level, which are not so demanding, but perhaps more rewarding.
Some activities for you to do:
Friday phrase: One in a million (BBC Learning English)
A listening exercise for you to do: The world of Agatha Christie (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English)
Mind your Language: Television (Comedy)
News Review: Great Barrier Reef in danger (BBC Learning English)
Ragnar Lothbrok: Odin awaits me in the halls of Valhalla!
Next week our students are facing the Selectivity exams and I would like to present you some articles, among many others, about the current situation, what is said and what is likely to come...
EBAU. El modelo de examen por la COVID dispara las notas de corte: "Meterse en una universidad pública es imposible" (RTVE)
Las facilidades disparan un 13% los aprobados en la Selectividad y un 85% los sobresalientes (El Mundo)
El aumento de sobresalientes en selectividad incrementa las desigualdades entre CC.AA. (El Debate)
Las peores regiones en PISA lideran los sobresalientes en Bachillerato y EBAU (La Gaceta de Salamanca)
I do hope our students do their best, but we all know we haven't been fair and the marks some have do not really reflect the reality. I guess it happens everywhere, but it is a situation I cannot cope with any longer. That is why I quit the bachillerato level for ever.
I MUST KEEP GOING - Powerful Motivational Speech on PERSPECTIVE (Featuring Marcus Elevation Taylor)
Like Christina Perri in her song I Believe (the film version), I do believe that one day we will all discover this great fake. Don't worry about me because, as it is said in the song, "this is not the end for me, this is the beginning". This is also how Nadal has overcome all the difficulties in life and his injuries!!! Here's a version with the lyrics for you to sing along!!
As well, this is not the end for you, either. It is just the beginning of new stage in your life and I wish you all the best. It's been a pleasure to work with you these long 6 years!!!
