Family seeks educational support for son with two ultra-rare diseases: “We’re not asking for special treatment”

He cannot speak or write and needs specific support to keep up in class. However, the family of Dídac Lacambra, a six-year-old with three ultra-rare genetic diseases, as well as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, says that some of the educational support he had received over the past three years has been withdrawn this school year. His parents say the situation is already having “academic consequences” and announce four days of protests outside the Department of Education in Zaragoza.

Zaragoza's Most Terrifying Tenth Floor: Skeletons, Tombs and a Bloodstained Bed

Zaragoza's Most Terrifying Tenth Floor: Skeletons, Tombs and a Bloodstained Bed

Some people place a pumpkin at the entrance, hang artificial cobwebs on the door or simply turn off the lights to create some atmosphere. But at number 11 Gran Vía in Zaragoza, residents have decided to play in a different league. Neighbors have transformed the landing on their tenth floor into a genuine haunted-house attraction, with decorations that could easily serve as the setting for an all-American Halloween movie.

Psychologist Diego del Castillo warns about the impact of “curis” accounts: “Bullying reaches home too”

Psychologist Diego del Castillo warns about the impact of “curis” accounts: “Bullying reaches home too”

Mockery, rumors and attacks against students and teachers lie behind some of the so-called “curis” accounts, a trend that has spread across TikTok and has already reached numerous schools in Aragón. These are anonymous profiles created by students to publish memes and cartoons about what happens in the classroom. While some of the content is limited to jokes about exams or everyday situations, other posts directly target classmates and teachers, making fun of their appearance or personality and spreading rumors, turning an apparent joke into a situation of bullying and cyberbullying. Psychologist Diego del Castillo told ARAGÓN DIGITAL that this form of bullying is “nothing new”: “There has always been caricature of both students and teachers.” The difference now lies in the megaphone provided by social media and the possibility of hiding behind anonymity.

Public Education Protests Return with November March: “For a Dignified, Quality Education”

Public Education Protests Return with November March: “For a Dignified, Quality Education”

After several months, demonstrations in defense of public education are returning. Since October, gatherings known as “Green Wednesdays” have been held every Wednesday at the gates of public schools during recess and at the start of the school day. The action will be repeated on November 4. This will lead up to a major demonstration on November 18 at 6:00 p.m. Called by the CGT union, teachers, students and families will set off from Zaragoza’s Plaza de España in a green wave through the city center. It will be the first mobilization since the school year began last September. The aim of these actions is to “make visible” the group’s various demands to the wider education community and Aragonese society. These include opposition to government-subsidized and/or privatized non-compulsory education, such as the proposed subsidization of upper secondary education that was halted last June. “For a dignified public school system with resources!” they say. They are also demanding improved pay conditions, increased staffing allocations to meet schools’ needs and lower student-to-teacher ratios. The regulation of extracurricular activities and school trips will also be on the agenda. Teachers believe the lack of legal certainty is causing problems in schools.

The “Ozempic effect” repeats as a blood pressure drug runs out after being used for hair loss

The Ozempic phenomenon could be repeating with another drug. The medication, prescribed to diabetes patients, became popular for its weight-loss effects and was dubbed “the Hollywood drug.” Rising demand, as it was prescribed for obesity, eventually caused supply problems for those who genuinely needed it for their condition, and another medication is now beginning to follow a similar path.
