"It has been agreed to continue working together within the framework of a strike, currently suspended, with the aim of resuming the demands raised to the Ministry of Education and demanding a real negotiation that provides a response to the teachers' demands," they declare.</p>]]></description>

Half a thousand anti-fascists stood up to the call supported by Vox and Núcleo Nacional, but also the PP, which defended the Spanish nature of the autonomous city and advocated for the expulsion of all the immigrants who still remain there. Tension did not take long to arrive.</p>]]></description>

There are true athletes of attention, capable of shielding themselves from any distraction, but the state of <em>flow</em> (the intensive focusing of the mind described For the psychologist Mihály (Csíkszentmihályi) it is today easier to find in the gym than in the classrooms. The work culture, criticized in school, finds a comfortable refuge in the <em>fitness</em>. ANDOur students suspect that effort is a variable without academic consequences and are more interested in finishing their work quickly than in completing it flawlessly. As the school becomes more permissive, students are less likely to face demanding challenges. What they demand from the coach, we deny to the teacher.</p>]]></description>
