Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What all y'all said is what I meant by the varying definitions of "sucks" -- schools can suck for a given kid for any number of reasons -- too easy, too hard, mean kids. etc.

And the religious issues, same thing -- maybe it's evolution, maybe you don't want your kid in a co-ed class, etc., etc.
