There are a total of 11 sets of multiples in the sophomore class, 10 sets of twins and one set of triplets. In the other grades, there are nine sets in the Freshman class, three in the Junior class, and six in the Senior Class.
Some sets of twins participate in the same activities including sports and other extracurriculars with each other. Being a twin can be hard for parents, especially with balancing the activities each person does.
“Our parents do a really good job splitting because there are a lot of overlaps,” sophomore Alex Uchtman said.
Having a twin gives someone the opportunity to share, discuss, and do projects or assignments with somebody that is learning the exact same class.
“Positives I guess, are being able to have a class with Ava, it’s really helpful for homework and school in general.” Uchtman said.
When twins are able to work independently in the presence of the other, being together in the same class can be an ideal situation. For some twins, however, the presence of their sibling—their buddy since birth—can be a distraction and a potential deterrent to effective learning.
Also being able to have someone at your side all the time is nice. It’s like having an unlimited friend. Twins can excel on all levels, academically, socially, mentally, and emotionally. Although some teachers say that twins can distract each other, and it’s not good that they are in the same class, it builds a bigger bond.
Having a special connection with a twin will help get through life, because they are most likely going through the same. If they aren’t, then they can still be there to help. Twins share a bond or likeness like no other. They are always on the same page, and are relatively on the same level of academics. School just allows that bond to become stronger, and better. After their high school years together, they can share the things they learned, and then go on to college. Always having someone that’s at one’s side during your academic career is very important, and beneficial. Even through college they are still able to do homework with each other, and learn from one another as they get through college.
