I considered it. Both boys were terribly upset. Ds7 felt I was denying him his rights as the elder to look after ds5 and ds5 thought it was mean to make him go somewhere by himself. I would seperate them but there would have to be a really good reason.

i think being x's little sister or y's cousin or z's daughter at a school is a nice continuity. If we lived near enough i would send them to the school the past 4 generations of my family attended.
