title: Angularjs 2: select not updating with selected value in ion-select Ionic 2?
body: <p>I have below code which is working so far, but have small problem which I cannot figure it out. It's not updating (set the selected value into ion-select) ion-select after user chooses one option? Basically UI is not updating with selected value?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ion-item&gt;
  &lt;ion-label&gt;Classifications&lt;/ion-label&gt;
  &lt;ion-select [(ngModel)]="selectedItem" #item (change)="onChange(selectedItem)"&gt;
  &lt;ion-option *ngFor="#item of items" [value]="item"&gt;{{item}}&lt;/ion-option&gt;
  &lt;/ion-select&gt;
  &lt;/ion-item&gt;
  
  onChange(selectedItem) {
     console.log('Selected item: '+selectedItem);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Out put properly displays as user select, any ideas what I'm missing here?</p>
  
  <p><strong>update</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ion-item&gt; 
    &lt;ion-label&gt;Gender&lt;/ion-label&gt; 
    &lt;ion-select [(ngModel)]="gender"&gt; 
      &lt;ion-option value="f" checked="true"&gt;Female&lt;/ion-option&gt; 
      &lt;ion-option value="m"&gt;Male&lt;/ion-option&gt; 
    &lt;/ion-select&gt; 
  &lt;/ion-item&gt;
  </code></pre>
