What I am trying to do is the following:

I have a Student table with some fields...

I need to join the student in two different ways...

1. The student has a home district
2. The student can be in one or more reporting districts

I understand the join table for the reporting districts, however is it
also possible to have a district_id in the student table as well which
is his/her home district?

Or do I have to do a has many through?

I would like to be able to do

  student.district as well as student.reporting_districts or something
similar.

  Sorry...  Really new to rails and still trying to learn the proper
syntax...

John
