[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:58 here again. One tale of warning. DH is also a twin with a brother. They were in the same K. Somewhere around April the teachers noticed my BIL wasn't reading well. When they asked him about it in an effort to work with him BIL replied, "That's OK, I don't have to read. DH does all the reading."

Being close is fine. Being codependent isn't.[/quote]

Yes. OP Here. we try to be very careful of letting one handle specific skills for both. [/quote]

So you see why splitting them up will be critical - in a class of 20+ kids they will not be managed as carefully.

Honestly what is the benefit of keeping them together? That they won't have to be alone for the first time and feel a bit uncomfortable? If you are concerned that they are too close, then you should absolutely not keep them together in school where they will be sure to fall back on that bond more than they do at home. They won't lose the depth of their relationship- only add a new facet of themselves as unique individuals.[/quote]
