An Inspector Calls Back and Leaves a Message

Hello all 11R students, this is the voice of Inspector Goole calling.  As a time traveller from the future, I journeyed from this day, August 23rd 2012, to September 6th 2011 to join forces with my trusty partner, Eva Smith (you know her as Miss Dennis, but don't worry, she doesn't really die in the infirmary) knowing that in eleven months time your true wonder would be revealed in the form of 5A*s, 16As, 10Bs and 1C.  Obviously, whilst disguised as the really rather attractive and snazzily dressed 'Miss Sheppard', we discussed/argued/cried about the fact that letters don't mean learning, and letters don't define who you are.  But I tell you this now, 11R stationary-time-dwellers: this particular set of letters are a reflection of the blood, sweat, tears, passion, enthusiasm, ideas, independence, confidence, guts, courage and hard work that you put into your Literature lessons.  It took you a while to come round, and I know you hated me for a good long while.  I'll not forget those three hour detentions, those insulting homeworks, those conversations with your parents (who also hated me, btw): Eva Smith and I had to drink a lot of wine because of you.  At one point Eva Smith threatened to drink bleach, but I dissuaded her, telling her it would have been far too cliche. But at the end of it all, you are not just a group of young people with a set of grades, you are a set of educated young people, who now know how to learn.  My work here is done; I am now free to travel back and forwards through time and help other students.  Eva Smith rather liked you, though, so she is staying.  Look after her, and keep her away from household cleaning products.
