One of my favourite An Inspector Calls quotes:

Sheila: "Impertinent is such a silly word." (Act 2)

Now, IMPERTINENT is a key word in An Inspector Calls. It tells us about the class mentality of 1912.

@NikkiSSmith In my last school, it was put into the newsletter before I had a chance to tell the classes I wanted to tell. I was really annoyed! People should be able to tell students on their own terms, it's not nice to just be asked outright when you aren't ready.

[Mr M. Catlin @MrMCatlin1]

One of my favourite poems! Always gets people thinking and the reactions are enough to restore your faith in humanity.
