On Thursday at Presentation Evening, I made a sentimental last goodbye to the group of students who left my school this summer. Most have moved on confidently and are now settled into their new lives of study and work. For all Facebook’s faults, I love it, because it lets me stay in touch with a great group of wonderful young people of whom I became very fond.

Among them is Jason, who appears to be winning a staring match with Poppet, who we first met in March.
