sounds like the headmaster rather misses the very glaring point too. #fail

She's having symptoms of "schizophrenia."

The intellectual deterioration in teaching methodology with some Indonesian teachers are very alarming indeed.

The concept of hell? Hell is full of women? By all things that are sane, what an earth is going on in Indonesian schools? A complete load of nonsense. It would seem that there is a disparate need to look at teachers qualifications and their level of intelligence, to ascertain whether they are suitable to be in a position to mould young minds, and or course at the curriculum. Forgetting that this teachers mindset is centuries out of step with modern society, her teaching method is just a joke.

A junior high school student in Bandung has complained that her religion teacher burned her and fellow students with blown-out matches to teach them about hell, the principal of SMP Pasundan 7 confirmed on Wednesday.

The alleged incident happened at the school on Tuesday. According to the student, the teacher was explaining the concept of hell and had asked the female class members to gather around while she lit matchsticks.

“She asked each female student to blow out the match and then pressed it on their hands,” said the student, adding that only girls were required to participate. “She said hell is full of women.”

When her turn came, however, she says the teacher pressed the still-hot match on to her left cheek. “She said, ‘Here, feel this. Hell is much hotter.’ ”

The girl’s parents were outraged and reported the incident to principal Erik Sudeni on Wednesday.

Erik, however, defended the teacher. “She didn’t do it on purpose. When she lit the match, the students panicked causing the match to fall from her hand and hit the student’s cheek.”
