Freedomof choice

In response totomseddon (Letters, November 21), there is a reasonwe have single-sex schools as well as coeducational schools innewzealand: It gives people freedomof choice.

People can choose which system works well for their child and what works for one child in a family, may not work for another.

Ihave worked formany years under both systems and each has a place along with schools that are basedon a religious affiliation.

Weare very lucky intauranga that wealready have such awide choice of options with each school offering a great education regardless of its structure.

People need to be allowed tomake theirowndecision regarding the best educational option for their family. Jane Baker
