Sue Eckstein's account of finding alternative education for her son Sebastian was exhilarating (The Argus, March 19).

I felt she had opened a window on to how I feel. I am a writer/poet and have undertaken a lot of adult education to get where I am.

Would I have excelled further had I had the opportunities Sebastian is being given?

It will be a positive move and I praise his parents for doing this for him. Alternatives are not cop outs. They are ways of saying, "I want join in too."
