Last week, a message in our class group said that school would be closed on Friday because of building work. The message included a picture of a notice with our school's logo. I shared it with a friend before checking it. A few minutes later, she asked where it had come from. I couldn't answer. I looked at the picture again and noticed that the date was from the previous year. Someone had shared an old notice without its original context. I checked the school's website, where there was no new announcement about a closure. Since I still wasn't sure, I asked at the school office. They confirmed that lessons would take place as usual. I posted a correction in the group and explained how I had checked the information. Some classmates had already made plans for their unexpected day off. I felt embarrassed, but leaving the mistake uncorrected would have been worse. Now, before I share a surprising message, I check its date and original source. A familiar logo can make a message look reliable, but it doesn't prove that the information is current.
