This is an interesting topic Ken. At present the government control the education system (as we know.) They force people to pay for this system which leaves Parents with little choice on where or how to have their children educated (unless they are very wealthy and can afford to pay TWICE. In Tauranga we are lucky that there are SINGLE SEX schools and CO-ED Schools. SOLELY based upon where I live, I am also lucky that I have a CHOICE of ANY of these schools (I chose to send my daughter to a SINGLE SEX school, which as it happens is damn good.) Unfortunately, other parents are not so fortunate and are forced to send their children to a certain school based upon ZONING or where they live. I do not agree with your DEMOCRACY idea, because it is flawed. It has no respect for the minoritys rights! Just like the government who FORCE your children to attend a certain school (co-incidentally based upon where they LIVE, and not What or HOW you wish them to be educated), you ALSO wish to FORCE other peoples children into going to a CO-ED school. A more moral solution would be: Remove the government from the education sector. Stop forcing parents to pay for a one-size-fits-all system (whether you like it or not) Let ALL parents chose the school and system of education they want for THEIR children. That way Everybody is happy. NOBODY has their rights taken away by having them up for auction (democratic vote). The only people unhappy will be the government, who will lose the monopoly of brainwashing its citizens in things IT wants them to know (or not) What is the Tauranga Community? It is a collection of individuals who each should have rights that do not deserve to be destroyed by a GANG (bullying is bad right!)
