Education
Sir,—Together with many other New Zealanders, I am pleased that the students’ banner has irked Mr Lange and that it has drawn a response from him, childish though it may be. Of the many students I know, few are doctors’ sons. Most of them are the sons and daughters of ordinary New Zealanders who have both the desire and the gumption to extend their education. Many make considerable sacrifices to do so, knowing that a degree does not automatically lead to a lot of money in their lifetime as Mr Lange is so fond of telling us (June 16). Mr Lange says, “People go to work in Mangere so that doctors’ sons can sit in Christchurch unfurling banners that are meaningless.” He should have said, people go to work in New Zealand so that a doctor’s son can sit in Parliament making statements that are meaningless.—Yours, etc., (Mrs) P. J. MILLER. June 16, 1989.
