I've never heard of MCPS sending them to different schools. I agree it is an awful idea to put them in the same class, but busing one over to a different school seems needlessly extreme.

I don't understand why anyone would ever want to do this.

As a MS teacher I taught two sets of twins from the same family and the parents insisted that their kids have the same schedules every year. The kids were okay individually, but together they were super bratty and got into a lot of unpleasant situations with other children. This was a super bigoted family, so the kids together allowed them to defend all the mistakes the kids made. Anyway, all other twin parents I’ve worked with have wanted their kids to be randomly assigned classes.

Hi there!

Just wanted to follow up on this. What happened with the twins? Did they stay together or were they separated?

During the 21-22 School year I noticed my principal allowed twins to be in the same classroom to reduce exposure risk.

As A twin I think my brother and I being in the same classroom has worked out for us. The competition between us helps us out in the school and to strive.
