'Wij werken met leerlingen die niet praten over een patta (sportschoen) van vijfduizend gulden Surinaams, maar over een patta [van] vijftigduizend gulden.' Dat is omgerekend 230 Nederlandse guldens, evenveel als haar maandsalaris.

     A teacher from Nickerie district explains how conditions are in Suriname today. Some parents are staggeringly rich. 'We work with pupils who don't talk about trainers worth five thousand Surinamese guilders, but trainers worth fifty thousand guilders.' Which works out to 230 Dutch guilders, equal to her monthly salary.
