(no subject)

As you may know, there is great debate over whether or not to separate twins into different classrooms when they enter kindergarten. The Oakland Public School District, to its credit, seems to leave this decision to the parents and teachers in collaboration, with no set policy either way.

I have my own opinions on the subject but I'm open to persuasion. So I asked April and Simone each which they'd prefer, same classroom or different?

I barely got the question out before April answered "different." Simone went on to talk about how they should have not just separate classrooms but entirely different schools, but I put the kibosh on that one.

So?

Do your children's opinions agree with yours?

Yes. Though I have reservations.

On the assumption they spend time together outside school then separate classes in primary sounds appropriate. The main problem I forsee is the GIANT birthday party with two, possibly not significantly overlapping, circles of friends to cater for in the same place at the same time. I'm sure you've identified other dis/advantages too as you've thought this through.

There is the giant birthday party problem, it's true.
