		Parents might still have a say about the treatment of their children, but the teacher, his or her salary, the subject matter, the number of hours spent, and the educational setting are all determined by the school administration and the educational system of which the school forms a part.
		Hong Kong children are of course the other principal input, but they appear to have little say in their own destiny and do not receive salaries paid for with Hong Kong tax dollars.
		Not only is manpower the largest single expense in a typical school budget, but how that manpower is distributed across subject areas must certainly reflect the intentions of government and school administrators with regard to the system's academic goals.
