Will you/did you let your child choose their own secondary school?

Will you be letting your child choose their secondary school or did you decide for them?

We've got a few decent secondary schools nearby, some have better results than others though.

My instinct tells me to let him choose the one he's most comfortable with rather than pushing him into going to the one with the best results.

We considered DDs opinions carefully and have ultimately gone for her first choice. BUT I've been careful to take ownership of the decision because I don't want her to feel it's her fault if she's not happy there. I want her to feel it's my fault so she can moan about it and let me know if things are going wrong without losing face IYSWIM.
