This is about a teacher who is assigned a classroom where very special children are found for their type of behavior. The teacher, supported at the beginning by the advice of a colleague of the same school, decides to take the challenge even knowing that it will not be easy to deal with such special students.

To break the ice and gain a little attention from the students she resorts to methods that the school did not support and she takes them out on her own merits and decides to teach them Karate techniques to get her attention.

But he did not succeed because the school's leadership did not support her at all because they did not believe that the students were going to get out of that social conflict they were going through.

So again I use her creativity, she decided to have a strong impact on the lives of the students. She decided to change her methodology because of the desire for prizes when the boys had some kind of participation in the class hours. Involved already with the desire to change the lives of the boys, and with the advice of a student, she realizes that she must win a very influential boy in the behavior of the majority of the students.
