[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an adult who was in this situation and my parents held us both. I always gravitated socially to the grade above me and struggled in 6th, 8th and 12th grade. I just wasn’t on the same page as my classmates. Also, most of my sports teammates in elementary and middle school were in the grade above me because cutoffs were by birth year.[b] I went to college on the east coast and was a full year older than my classmates, which was when I pieced together that we’d been “held back.”[/b] I was very advanced academically for my grade, which I should have been, because I was a year older than most of my classmates! My brother still struggled and was still short even among his younger classmates.

Honestly, I would suggest separating the twins in this situation based on my sample size of me. Otherwise one of them will always be in a situation that was “best” for their twin but is a compromise for them. [/quote]

Easy for you to say since you were the advanced twin. I want to hear your brother's opinion on this. How would he have felt if only he was held back? Would he feel like was dumb and you were not and resent you? [/quote]

PP certainly wasn't that advanced if it took her until college to realize that she was a year older than everyone and was held back. [/quote]

Wow!. Interesting that you want perspective from a twin but because she didn't agree with your take you attack.

And as pp pointed out only concerned with the boy's feelings not the girl's[/quote]
