I could be looking at this wrong, but seems like majority of the board are elected.

Board of Governors
There are two levels of governors it seems - founding governors and elected governors. I think it is this two tier structure that is leading to a lot of the issues. I think there were questions of this governance structure from the accreditation committee that came to examine the school.
What happens if you're sold on a vision or implied quality of an ISP and you enter into a 10 year contract... play a bunch of money upfront.If parents want their child to be educated in a certain way - I'd lean further than that Richard Wong and say home schooling would be the way.
You become a loyal customer of the ISP. You even donated generously when the ISP has requested that you donate funds to say ... give their employees new screwdrivers.
You've told all your friends that this is the best ISP in town and gotten them to sign on.
You must continue to drink the Koolaid while you're a customer... it is mandatory.
One day, half way through your contract, you've noticed that connections are deteriorating, employees are not happy and this results in a further deterioration of service.
They have you by the balls.. because it would take you a year or two to switch ISPs AND you'd loose the generous donations and upfront payments...
Then at a consumer meeting .. the ISPs chairman, who is also called Richard, asks you in the nicest possible manner to fuck off. Would you be all cheery and bend over in three different ways with a smile and a jar of vaseline in your hand?
Oh and by the way, you must have an ISP .. because sending smoke signals is illegal in HK.
Bottom line .. schools are businesses and should learn to behave like businesses.

Sorry but I don't trust your judgement regarding anything educational since your ridiculous comments in this old thread.

but either a debenture needs to be held or an annual capital levy needs to be paid.... either way thats still technically an investment in the school and not just simply a consumer which should be told to STFU...
