St. Patrick's Day Songs

Hi folks ! "I'll Tell me Ma". This is one of the songs we will be singing and dancing to in class this week to celebrate St. Patrick's Day (Patron Saint of Ireland) on the 17th of March, the Irish National holiday. Practise the steps and look out for versions with the lyrics so we can sing our heads off whilst dancing! Lyrics.

Schoolday Memories

The other day we were reminiscing about our schooldays. Some students had pleasant stories to tell whilst others had gruesome tales to tell. Is there still dark sarcasm in the classroom these days? Are pupils/teachers more or less respectful than in the past?
Have a listen to this song by Pink Floyd and spot the grammatical errors. Or do you think they are really errors or just poetic license?
