She wants Sophie in the same school as her friends kids because she has this image of dropping Sophie off and then toddling off (on her stupid bike of course) for coffee and cake with said pals. Has she considered that most people do drop off and then dash off to work?! Most people have real lives and jobs and responsibilities? It is all about her and her idea of what her life will be like here, not anything to do with Sophie or what is best for her.
