| HOUSE RESOLUTION
|
2 |
| WHEREAS, It is a tradition of many schools across the State |
3 |
| to separate twins, triplets, or other multiple siblings into |
4 |
| different classrooms upon entering the school system without |
5 |
| considering the preference of the parent or the children and |
6 |
| the best interest of the multiples; and
|
7 |
| WHEREAS, The available studies and data indicate that in |
8 |
| most cases separation of multiples in school is not beneficial |
9 |
| to their achievement in school and in some cases can be |
10 |
| detrimental; and
|
11 |
| WHEREAS, Often the separation of multiples when entering |
12 |
| the school environment can be detrimental to the support system |
13 |
| between multiples; and
|
14 |
| WHEREAS, Each multiple is an individual; therefore, |
15 |
| separation in school is not necessary to develop their |
16 |
| individuality; and
|
17 |
| WHEREAS, Separation of multiples in school can, in many |
18 |
| cases, cause hardship to the parents who have to deal with |
19 |
| different class schedules and activities; and
|
20 |
| WHEREAS, The fact that the policy of separating multiples |
21 |
| has been followed by many schools does not mean that it is the |
22 |
| better or the correct policy; and
|
23 |
| WHEREAS, Each set of multiples is different; while some |
24 |
| multiples will do better when placed together, others do better |
25 |
| when separated; therefore, placement of multiples should be |
26 |
| determined on a case-by-case basis with priority given to the |
27 |
| preference of the parents; therefore, be it
