[quote=Anonymous]A father of twins here. DW and I both think the idea of "twin day" is pretty stupid. However, if your school does this and you want to encourage participation, let the kids know that especially when there are an odd number of children, "triplets" are acceptable for twin day. Having a few groups of three instead of two can help balance out the odds. But I don't like the idea because it tends to really highlight the children who are outsiders, loners, or introverted. They often have trouble making friends, or their friends are better friends with others and it only isolates them more. Traditions like this are the kind of things that push the outsiders over the edge and do something drastic. I would discourage the idea where possible unless the school and or teachers paired the kids up and made sure everyone was somehow in a group.[/quote]
