[quote=Anonymous]I've definitely read more articles, but here is one article on grades and birth order.  I think this article is interesting because it also talks about how the oldest's education has an effect on the younger children.  It says to me you should choose how your younger children get educated taking into consideration how your older children are educated since they will be mentors to your younger children.  If you get it wrong for your older child, your younger child will be affected negatively.  This is what I meant by saying that it was more important to pay attention to how the older one is doing because there is a trickle down effect.  Obviously if they are in different schools there will be less of a connection between them.  Since sibling closeness is something I value I would hate to split my children up, but I can see why some would in certain cases.

I don't think it's disputed that younger children get along with others more easily and do better at sports, so I'm not going to take the time to look up studies that say so.
