[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 have the opposite view. If you kind of feel the younger one is less likely to make it to AAP, it is better to separate them to different schools. If they are in the same school, they will talk about all the teachers they have, curriculum, projects, classwork etc. And they will compare their grades, and feedback from the teachers will be different. The younger one will know, and will get hurt if get compared directly that way. If they are in different schools, everything is different anyway, no direct comparison. It triggers less sibling rivalry. [/quote]
