Oh, I am happy. I was just being sarcastic.
I think I could be happy at both schools, but IMHO I don’t think you should tell kids that they will never be at home at one school(when they liked the other better) when the only option they have is to go the school they liked less. Home is where the heart is, but I think the heart can go to multiple places and be content.
