On Hong Kong's Exercise to Reduce the Number of Classes at Public Schools
Hong Kong is not populated by daredevils. The matter concerns life is not to be taken up lightly here there. Time gets tough, for newborns to arrive. Naturally, schools can not get enough kids; empty desks keep piling up. In lieu of “schools killing”, the Education Department hence mandated schools to cut (the number of) classes (a school used to run), “equally” across the board, in one blunt chop.
But why to me!? Mine is an elite school with track records to show, overwhelmed applicants to back up, and influential alumni to placate. Why not, you are being publicly funded just as well, why should the rest of us face more of the consequence?
How do you settle the squabble like Maryknown/Delila/Maria's? Set the goal but not the mechanics. Let they who concerned to decide upon the details. You have a case to be an exception? Pitch it to the ones who agreed to make the sacrifice. Let the schools who decided to take a cut, not the Education Department, to decide on which school whose classes need not be cut, so long as the overall goal/quota can be met. This also could make a good exercise to show schools' true colours, to show how true your educators are, to make the self-righteous to take a good at themselves so that they can look at others differently.
