It's exam day for math class. Three types of behavior stand out in the classroom; the typical student who has problem behavior (Pedro), the typical student who shows academic excellence (Diego) but belittles the student with problem behavior, and the teacher who belittles the student with problem behavior. When exam time arrives, the teacher distributes the exams to the students. Then, Diego, in a joking way and so that everyone can hear him, asks the teacher to put Pedro's desk facing the window. All the students in the room laugh. The teacher obeys Diego's request and asks Pedro to turn his desk around. Pedro does it, although not in the best way, and then he begins to read the exam aloud. The teacher intervenes, asking him to better visualize it in her mind. The student tries to do it. At first he was succeeding, but he gets tired and complains audibly. The teacher intervenes again, asking him to stop distracting the students who do have a future. So Pedro, as seems to be his habit, decides to copy himself. Diego finishes his exam first than the other students and asks the teacher to let him out so he can read a book. The teacher let him go out to the playground as a reward, and Diego gets up and puts his test on the desk. Pedro is sitting next to the teacher's desk. Therefore, he looks for a way, without the teacher noticing, to take Diego's exam. He succeeds, and exchanges names and puts the exams back on the desk.
