SYNOPSIS

After 13 years of being away Francisco Reyes returns to the public school Jimmy Carter, this time not as a student but as a teacher. There he “clashes” with the youngsters of 2017. Young teens that only follow the rules they feel like following where “bullying”, “flaming” and “stalking”, the powerful drug DMA, the addiction to cellphones and an endless thread of new issues brought by Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram prevail. 

On top of all this, Francisco must figure out why the best student of the entire school, Luna Garcia tried to commit suicide.

Mr. Ezequiel, who continues to be the principal of the school thinks it is a joke they have sent as a teacher the student he so many times in the past had problems with; meanwhile for Gabriela Chavez, whom was also a student at the Jimmy and now a Physics teacher at the institution the arrival of Francisco is a great support to try and help these young kids get ahead in life: Mariana Trujillo or “Anabel”, the most aggressive one, Camilo Aza whom spends more time at the Bronx than at school; Rubi Moreno or “Moby Dick” the fattest girl at the Paraiso neighborhood; Maria Monica Sanchez or “the Barby’s”  who considers that thanks to the internet her looks can be acknowledged; Brayan Largo “the Paisita” a pretty boy that says “it is better to hit the ball than to hit the books” and “Gigio” who makes a funny video that goes viral making him “the star” of school and of Bogota giving him the opportunity to even rub shoulders with Sebastian Villalobos and Daneidi Barrera better known as “Eh, eh, Epa Colombia”.

Francisco will feel attracted to Gabriela, just like Mariana will set eyes on K, Rubi on Ricardo and even Daniel on Brayan because romance at school is always present and that is something that doesn’t change even 13 years late.

Blinded by the love she feels for Wilson, Gloria didn’t listen to her daughter the many times she told her that Wilson was a bad man, that he looked at her with a dirty mind or that she heard him talking to other women in the bathroom.

All the love, fidelity and submission she used to live with, starts fading away.

Gloria finds, in Francisco, her guardian angel, a man who supports her from the moment her world starts crumbling down, he listens to her and worries about her.

CARLOS TORRES IS FRANCISCO

Francisco Quintana is the new Francisco. He is between 34 and 38 years old.

He is an educator born in a middle to rich class, but has always been a warrior, leader of ideological proposals, but not lazy at all, a teacher who is very committed to teaching like the Juan Francisco from the story’s previous versions.

He studied at the Universidad Distrital, a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, and immediately started working as a Provisional Professor at the Castilla District Institute; this was thirteen years ago, when youth conflicts were different and in a school where boys from a middle-class neighborhood attended it.

He moved overseas, in Spain he earned a Master's degree in Educational Informatics (which is why he believes this is a very valid resource) and in Chile he earned the Master's degree in mathematics education. He returned to Colombia and went to the District Secretary and was appointed by a merit contest, with a high score, at that time he was ranked as 3A by score and titles acquired.

Due to his way of thinking, he accepted the appointment to the District Prison, where he worked for three years, which allowed him to submit to a new promotion contest and is currently ranked as 3B, earning about 4 million pesos and ensuring some economic stability (They cannot fire him that easily). At that time he wanted to teach in a school to approach the youth, he considered that his stage with inmates in re-socialization processes was over and he wanted to go back to the classrooms. He never imagined all the complications he would run into with the model youth of 2017.

He believes blindly in constructivist education, where the teacher is not the "almighty" who only transmits knowledge, but a person who guides the student to deduce, experiment and refine that knowledge.

His physical appearance is very nice, without the need to drive the students crazy, because the girls prefer to call him the "cool teacher" and with his success he begins to earn the respect of the entire student community and the envy of some teachers.

He is confused by a strong attraction for both, Gloria and Gabriela.
