[quote=Anonymous]There was a "twins law" sponsored in the Maryland Senate (I think...) but it has not been enacted.  In Virginia, apparently there is one on the books.  Who knew?

OP, be prepared to back up your reasoning for keeping them together.  I am a K teacher, and based on my experience, I would definitely not support having twins in the same class.  Most principals I have ever dealt with feel the same.  You haven't really stated your reasons, but you should have some kind of backup, other than "it's easier for me."  Maybe have your pediatrician give some input.

You don't need to inform the principal that one of your twins is reading chapter books.  In K, everyone comes in with a different skill set and classes are generally not formed based on that.  It's more a matter of balancing gender and race/ethnicity.  If you're concerned about coming across as a PITA, then for sure leave that part out.

The time to have this meeting is probably when you receive information about K orientation, which varies from school to school, but orientation is usually in late April/May.[/quote]
