黑板上寫滿了數學方程式,老師正用一把砍刀當教鞭講解。黑板上方寫著一句格言,大概是為了激勵學生:「學習並遵循胡志明主席的教誨,我們的心靈更加光明!」

A blackboard had been covered with math equations, which the teacher was explaining, using a machete as a pointer. Above the blackboard was a motto, probably intended to be inspirational: "Studying and following Uncle Ho's words, our hearts are brighter!"
