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...
