Situación: Clase de 4º de ESO, 16:00.
El Profe "Moderno": Lleva moño, pendientes y pantalones rajados. Va vestido full Quechua como para asaltar el Kilimanjaro (aunque solo va a la sala de profesores) y usa Android. Eso sí, explica la gramática igual de mal que en 1990. Te dice: "Chicos, la pasiva es muy fácil, solo hay que permutar los sintagmas...".
Tú: (Cerebro desconectado).
