El auge de los ‘curis’ en el inicio de curso desata el miedo al acoso en las aulas
El uso de caricaturas anónimas de profesores y alumnos, difundidas y amplificadas por redes sociales, se extiende con rapidez por los institutos
In a remarkably short time, the beginning of the school year has been filled with "curis" on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. These are humorous drawings, sometimes biting and at other times offensive, crossing the line into cyberbullying. Created anonymously and using digital design applications, they depict teachers, classmates, and typical scenes from the students' educational institutions.
"We see them in almost all institutes," remarked José María Fernández Díaz, director of a public institute in Mejorada del Campo, Madrid. To make detection difficult, the authors sometimes write the name of the school backwards (Altabir instead of Ribalta, for example), use the name of the municipality, or employ abbreviations, usually accompanied by the school emblem.
