What is your advice about twins in same class at school?

I have 5 year old boy/girl twins. Everyone says I should seperate them when I send them to kindergarten. Currently, they are in the same preschool class. Is it more healthy for their developement that they be together or apart? Whats your advice?What is your advice about twins in same class at school?
I'd say apart--its a whole different element when you have siblings in the same class. They can't really relax because the sibling is in there and at the same time, they could relax a little too much and not take school seriously. Separating them allows them to form their own academic identities which is crucial for development and will help them to become successful adults. Many schools require siblings to be separated--it's easier on the kids and easier on the teacher because siblings often try to act up together. Good luck with this one!What is your advice about twins in same class at school?
You don't want to upset them. If they are really close, separating them may be traumatizing. I'd talk to them, and ask them what they think about kindergarten. Prepare them for it and they might end up wanting to be separated. If not, don't worry too much.





Speak to their teacher and make sure they are treated as two different people, not just as ';twins';.
I have twin granddaugters and when they started first grade they were put in different classes. I thnk it is a good idea. They were to able meet more friends and become a little more independent. They have no problems with it at all.
definitely apart i know many twins and there is sooooooooo much competition. if its a boy and girl maybe not as much as 2 girls or 2 boys- then there is tonz!!!!!!
I'm kinda unsure about this myself. If you separate them they will be more independent and won't have to rely on each other and other people will see them as individuals. On the other hand I also think it it would be nice to have them in the same class cos if i was a twin i'd like to have my twin in the same class as me.





I think it depends on their personalitys and I think that you'll know yourself whether to separate them.They might thank you for separating them in the long run or they mightn't. I dont think it matters much if you do or don't. It's not gonna have a really really big impact on the rest of their lives. The choice is up to you. Good luck xox
I plan on putting my twins in separate classes. They will become more independent. Also I think it will be easier on their teachers( I have twin girls that look almost the same). If you feel that your twins are dependent on each other or you think they may disrupt the class then you should separate them.
You're their mother and you know best. If they're really dependent on each other and tend to play together when in groups, you should separate them. You don't want to have them isolating themselves from their classmates. Some twins communicate differently between themselves and this isn't good for learning. Otherwise, it's not a big deal to keep them in the same class. They'll have the same assignments and be learning together which is nice.
