ALL MY STUDENTS


Javier Fernández Panadero is a former coworker, and a friend. He works as a Maths teacher in a High School in Pinto, he writes science books for students, and he also participates with Nuria Roca in Melodía FM.

Yesterday, Monday 14th, he was on TV2 at 10. I forgot to watch him. So lets watch him both in the radio with Nuria Roca, and on TV2 in "La aventura del Saber".
