Have You Ever Wondered What Goes On in Schools?

Earlier this year, Jeremiah visited a pesantren or Islamic boarding school in Jakarta.  That school prides itself on aiming to provide its students with a modern education and equip them with skills relevant to the 21st century, including English and Arabic language skills.  An "international area" was demarcated in the school compound where the students are only allowed to communicate in English and Arabic.  The training aids include a big board printed with English expressions and their Bahasa Indonesian equivalents.

Sounds good so far?

Look again carefully at the close up of the board (the third photo), between the lines "Don't waste your time" and "Don't be longing (sic)".  Good Lord!
