Student expulsions, an enigma for the Ministry of Education

In the Balearic Islands, schools manage student sanctions and expulsions autonomously through their School Climate Committee. Therefore, according to the Ministry of Education, they are not obligated to share this data with the central government, and consequently, there is no comprehensive registry to track the number of students expelled or the reasons for their expulsion. This decentralization can limit the ability to assess the impact of disciplinary measures and analyze their effectiveness on school climate. One of the most pressing issues is the rise in bullying cases in recent years. During the 2016-2017 school year, 420 protocols were activated for potential bullying cases, while in the last school year, this number rose to 887. Of these, approximately 20% were confirmed as actual cases of bullying.

'Jostissi' from the alley

I know that violence should always be the last option. Or rather, I make a daily effort to convince myself that it should be that way, although there's a part of me that would like to give in to open and unscrupulous violence, to let myself go down the slide of vengeful fury and start dealing out until I'm completely exhausted. It would be good therapy. I'll ask my psychologist about it.

Social Animal: Where Utopia Is Possible

In a world of constant tension, where fractures are as visible as the yearnings for justice and reconciliation, dance opens a space for us to practice new forms of coexistence and listening. Through movement, we explore the possibility of a collective bodily utopia capable of imagining other ways of living together, even where the wound seems irreconcilable.

These are not pleasant times, when reality seems to align with the most dystopian scenarios of science fiction. Uninhabitable worlds in which we reproduce the worst episodes in the history of humanity, including genocide and the persecution of certain racial groups. Someone always needs to be blamed for the things that happen to us and that we don't like, and it will always be easier to blame immigrants than billionaires, because the latter have the economic power, propaganda, and the purchase of goodwill, which is no small feat.
