[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can those who say to keep siblings together elaborate? Are there non-obvious reasons why? We like our home school, but the center school was really impressive. It seems kid would have friends at center school and also be able to continue after-school activities with kids from home school. The only major drawback is younger kid, who will not qualify for AAP, actively relies on older kid for help. I hate the idea of splitting them up.[/quote]

I can only speak for myself, but we have one kid who was found eligible for AAP full-time and one with SN who struggles academically. There is already enough of a dynamic of the AAP kid having things come easy to them compared to their sibling. I think sending AAP kid to the center while other child stays at the base could be damaging for both kids emotionally. Also, we are embedded in the community at the base school with friends where both kids are close with them, older child walks younger SN sibling to classroom, etc. I don't want to deprive the older one of an opportunity but I do think their sibling relationship is worth more in the long run than what I perceive to be a marginal difference between the center and local level IV.[/quote]
