Default Help in Creating Relationships in a table

.... that should have been "IS IT true ..."

While I'm sure that most (?all) students have a "homeroom teacher" at some
point in time, it is true that they have the SAME homeroom teacher for all
time? Barring court or marital action, most individuals have/keep the
same first and last name throughout their lives.

I suspect your [HomeroomTeacher] field (and possible some of your {other
info relating to the student} actually belongs in a different table).

Hi

This is a follow to a previous question concerning relationships in a
table.

These are my tables I have in my database.

Students
StudentsID
LastName
FirstName
HomeroomTeacher
(ohter info relating to the student)

Cases
CaseNo_ID PK
StudentID FK

Categories
CategoryID PK
Category (e.g. School, Community, Individual, Peers, Family)

Issues
IssuesID PK
Issues (text, e.g. lack of role models)
CategoryID FK

StudentIssues
CaseNoID link to Cases Table
IssuesID Link to issues Table

Actions
ActionsID PK
Actions (text, eg. New Adult Role Models)
CategoryID FK

StudentActions
CaseNoID link to Cases Table
ActionsID link to Actions Table

Does this look right to anyone?

Is it possible to merge the Actions and Issues tables together or is it
best
to leave them separate?

Thank you in advance for your help
