Maybe it is just my kids, but I don't get the big push for keeping kids together in school. Are my kids freakishly independent triplets to want to be separated for school? They love to participate in their own actiities, go to birthday parties without their siblings, and even on sleepovers to grandmas or the neighbors. I don't think I did anything that made them want to be away from each other, they play together at home, share a room, and have lots of together time. It seems like there are many triplet moms who indicate that their kids depend on each other, or have bonded more than mine seem to.
I guess what I am wondering, is what makes one set "need" each other, and another set completely oblivious, or even going out of their way to get "alone" time. I don't have kids that would disrupt a class together, and our school does whatever the parents ask for. I just separated them to give them a chance to have their own experiences, and a little time apart during the day.
After reading all the posts about placement, I asked them what they would choose to do, and they all three want their own teacher.

I am not saying that I think kids have to be separated, I have several triplet mom friends who have chosen for theirs to be together for various reasons. (mainly mom-driven, not kid driven) Anyone want to weigh-in on why they think their kids would choose to be in the same class?
