Reading FB... Found multiple posts with false statements... I was able to easily debunk them with minor effort of searching. More important than teaching math (or whatever) I would like to propose that MEDIA LITERACY is king right now.

It is now incumbent on the government to act. We have heard minister after minister say the referendum is valid. This is proof it was not. Going ahead with Brexit in these circumstances would be the biggest betrayal of our democracy of all theguardian.com/uk-news/2019…

A leader is someone who believes in you and helps you believe in yourself. A leader doesn’t change you, but a leader does create conditions where you can change yourself. Leadership is helping others succeed. #satchat #FutureDriven #JoyfulLeaders

Teaching is awesome but it's also hard. Admitting it's hard doesn't make you a bad teacher. It makes you human. It's not negativity. It's authenticity.

As my final goodbye to teaching, I wanted to say something that would best sum up my beliefs. So I decided to hire an advertising space for this poster I have designed and illustrated. If you have time, please read more about my thoughts behind it here: andonart.co.uk/?p=386

Admin: Never forget how hard the classroom is. It gets harder as more expectations pile up and few get taken off. Teachers: Never assume being an admin is simple unless you've tried it yourself. Everyone must be on the same team and work together! #admingoals #teachergoals
