Danielle,

Personally, I don't think any of us are capable of making recommendations on this decision for anyone's kids but our own. There are so many different factors to consider that I feel NO WAY can anyone justify making a blanket statement one way or the other, KWIM? I'm not implying that anyone here has done this, just stating my stance..LOL!

For me, at this time, I am planning on keeping my triplets together when they start kindergarten. However, that is a few years from now and issues could arise that may cause me to change my mind. I taught second grade in the district in which my children attend/will be attending and I pretty much have the "go ahead" to go in whatever direction I feel is best.

Mine will start the 4 year old preschool together in September so I will learn a lot from that experience I am sure. Sierra went there last year so I am pretty familiar with how they structure things. I will wait and see how preschool together goes and that will affect my decision I am sure!

I must say, that reading this thread, has been so interesting. I hadn't thought too far ahead until I read this thread- then I got to thinking about the God awful FOURTH grade... it is a very demanding year here in NY- lots of testing and lots of homework. From my experience one teacher gives a fair amount of homework, one gives too much homework (IMO), and the third is just CRAZY- gives a ridiculous amount of homework. MAN...imagine that every night. "Baby A" has no homework, "Baby B" has an hour and a half, and "Baby C" has about three hours and still isn't done...man wouldn't that just suck? LOL Yep...I am really looking forward to THAT!!! LOL

Thank God mine are still little...LOL
