Thanks folks. Appreciate the responses. We are meeting with the school tomorrow. We found a good reserach paper that studied identical twins in different classrooms, and the study noted that separating twins lead to increases in behavior issues and internalizing problems. Another study noted no academic achievement difference between separate or similar classrooms. My take is that there is no concrete evidence that twims should be separated, but there is evidence that separation can potentially lead to emotional issues. The choice should be one that the family has a lot (if not 100%) input on.
Biggest issue for us is that highly gifted twins always have an age/intellect peer if they are together, which is rare, even in gifted schools.
