Description
The preschool director smiled as she glanced at the 2-year-old twin sisters, Caroline and Grace. She looked at me, their mother, and said, "It's our policy to separate twins, so they develop their own personalities. Caroline and Grace need to be separated before age 3. Caroline is more mature--and she will be placed with the 3- to 4-year-old class, while Grace will stay with the 2- to 3-year-olds." Breathe. Maintain composure. Try not to faint. Those were the only thoughts I could manage. The preceding vignette is not an unusual experience for parents of twins during their early schooling experiences--in child care centers, preschools, and elementary schools across the world. Many families experience frustration, anger, and fear as they contemplate the forced separation of their children. This column provides a synthesis of research studies to support why educators should maintain a flexible policy on school placement of twins.
