For you who don't understand Indonesian language, "Guru" means "Teacher". "Go Blog", when put and read altogether (Goblog), means "Stupid". So this seminar or whatever workshop, is to enforce the stupidity of teacher. I don't know whether the word choices are intentional, but it is so sad yet devastating. It is sad because teaching is supposed to obliterate stupidity and devastating because they - as teachers - are supposed to be responsible for the future of their students.
A friend of mine was questioning my nationality, during some conversations when I happened to mention about the poor human quality index in Indonesia. She was quite offended, although I never assumed that she (or general Indonesian people including me) are stupid. But if we think it further, debating over a black & white fact does not move us closer to any where, it is just simply a waste of time. Rather than reacting emotionally to the issue, we take actions, whether reaching out to the un-educated or foster the training quality & quantity to the current employee. I do the latter.
Back to the picture, I wonder if they feel proud or mocked...
