[quote=Anonymous]Inverse of this: I’m the girl twin and have boy twin. Same birth date, not Irish twins. We were born in late August and should have started K when we had just turned 5. My brother was not ready for school (academically or emotionally) but I was already reading and very much ready. She held us until we were both 6. I was out of sync with my classmates until HS and it was a bad choice. My mom often says she should have separated us but didn’t know how to deal with the comments and how it would have made my brother feel. I was way ahead of him even when we started late so it’s not like he “caught up”. We were always compared to each other anyway. It would have been healthier for both of us for my mom to have been less focused on how things looked or convenience and more focused on us as individuals. I agree with the PP who said that if different grades can’t happen, they need to in different schools. [/quote]
