Nice article for LC Composition.
Socrates died for it. Copernicus defied the stars. In 2025, it cut through U.S. election noise. Critical thinking is our secret edge vs. AI lies & outrage! #CriticalThinking #MindUnleashed #HistoryMysteries

Can't overstate this. It's critically important that all teachers of English participate in the consultation process for the draft #SeniorCycle specification. These are the opportunities to have practitioners' voices heard. #EdChatIE
The consultation on the draft specification for Leaving Certificate English is now open until Friday May 2nd. Please follow the link below to engage with the process. https://t.co/mCG69Uxqim
