Dropping in with schooling question!

2827.2 in response to 2827.1
Hello! I have fraternal twin girls, age 9y. They went to a public shcool in a fantastic district for Kindy, 1st and 2nd. In K and 1, they were placed together, but in 2nd I felt they were ready to branch out, and separated them. They did well, but it was hard on all of us. They were always comparing what each class was doing, and they missed each other terribly, despite having contact at lunch and recess. They became a bit clingy, to me as well. And, it was hard to keep track of different assignments, teachers, and conference times! Ugh!
Then we moved out of that district, and the public schools where we bought our house are not at all what I want my girls to have. We bought the house knowing that we would be putting them in a private Catholic school. (we are Methodist.) The girls were not happy about the change, and griped about being in class together again, but I can see that they are happier together. They are not clingy anymore, and they seem stronger, having the access to eachother not restricted. They don't do much together at school from what I can tell, but they seem to be doing better than when they were separated.
We are now in the 2nd year at the Catholic school, and they will probably be together in class at least through 8th grade. It's so much easier for me, as a mom, to track assignments, projects, and class activities, when they are together, and they are doing fantastic!
Hope this help! Good luck!
