Que esta novela se presente en el horario estelar de la televisi\u00f3n colombiana permite comprender, una vez m\u00e1s, por qu\u00e9 \u00e9ste es un pa\u00eds tan feliz pero tan injusto. <\/p>\n<p>La novela cuenta las situaciones graciosas por las que debe pasar un empresario de origen humilde, que no sabe ingl\u00e9s, que lo necesita y que decide estudiar. Es la historia de alguien que parti\u00f3 de cero, que logr\u00f3 un importante capital econ\u00f3mico y que carece de capital cultural. Con esta idea, la novela reproduce un viejo formato que hace de los excepcionales casos de movilidad social -del famoso \u201clevantado\u201d- un chiste clasista. <\/p>\n<p>Lo nuevo en realidad es el asunto del ingl\u00e9s. La novela cuenta la historia de un personaje que s\u00f3lo puede balbucear frases como \u201cAi lof mai moder\u201d, \u201cbery g\u00fcel\u201d, \u201cjaguar llu\u201d o \u201cberigud\u201d y que, adem\u00e1s, conoce que la globalizaci\u00f3n, con todas sus oportunidades, \u201cse declina, preferentemente, en ingl\u00e9s\u201d (como dir\u00eda el soci\u00f3logo brasile\u00f1o Renato Ortiz). <\/p>\n<p>La novela es graciosa porque se r\u00ede de las habilidades individuales del protagonista, que es una \u201ctapia\u201d, y porque presenta como algo personal el hecho de saber o no ingl\u00e9s. En esto la novela se suma a un tipo de burla clasista que tiene otras manifestaciones. Qui\u00e9n podr\u00eda olvidar, por ejemplo, el cubrimiento de la reina del Guain\u00eda en su fallido intento por hablar el idioma  y del vicepresidente Angelino Garz\u00f3n en su reciente visita a los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p>El asunto, sin embargo, es m\u00e1s complejo. Saber o no ingl\u00e9s se relaciona con el origen social y con el tipo de educaci\u00f3n que se recibe. El censo de 2005 muestra que s\u00f3lo el 3,8 por ciento de los colombianos habla ingl\u00e9s. Esto evidencia que la gran mayor\u00eda no habla este idioma pero, eso s\u00ed, est\u00e1 contento (seg\u00fan los resultados anuales del World Database of Happiness). <\/p>\n<p>Este bajo porcentaje nacional, sin embargo, no es homog\u00e9neo. Las diferencias regionales y las desigualdades socio-econ\u00f3micas condicionan el resultado. De un lado, en el tema regional, tan s\u00f3lo 33 de los 1.114 municipios superan el total nacional de 3,8 por ciento. Pero a\u00fan m\u00e1s sorprendente es que \u00fanicamente 256 municipios tienen m\u00e1s del 1 por ciento de su poblaci\u00f3n hablando ingl\u00e9s. De otro lado, en las desigualdades socio-econ\u00f3micas, los estudiantes de colegios privados, en promedio, obtienen 5 puntos m\u00e1s que los estudiantes de los colegios p\u00fablicos en el m\u00f3dulo de ingl\u00e9s de las pruebas del Icfes.<\/p>\n<p>Como se observa, el origen social es determinante. La televisi\u00f3n, entonces, m\u00e1s que la causa de este mal es una de las muchas herramientas que se necesitan para enfrentarlo. Para esto es necesario que la televisi\u00f3n diversifique sus programas y formatos, evite agudizar estereotipos, concientice a los televidentes sobre ciertos temas y, como m\u00ednimo, no deseduque. <\/p>\n<p>El d\u00eda, seguramente muy lejano, en que el entretenimiento sea educativo y la educaci\u00f3n entretenida, es posible que tengamos un pa\u00eds que siga siendo feliz pero que sea mucho m\u00e1s justo. Mientras esto ocurre, los canales de televisi\u00f3n seguir\u00e1n responsabilizando a los televidentes, y los televidentes a los canales de televisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The English Teacher reaffirms why Colombia is so happy but so unfair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The &quot;teacher &quot;
