One child studies in a public educational institution and the other in a private one
Summary
An Australian mother of identical twins has opened up about what it’s like to keep her children in different schools, one private and one public, after realizing her children wanted to go to one school that was different from the other.
An Australian by name Li-Ann Scott, mother of identical twinstalked about what it means to maintain children in two different schools. According to her, everyone wanted to go to school and therefore realized that they had to make a difficult decision.
Hamish really wanted to go to a private boys’ school. His twin, Luca, wanted to make it public. Before deciding, Li-Ann tried to place the two together in a public institution, but only one got through.
“They cried a lot for months before school started, not wanting to go to either school, but I told them both that these were great opportunities to try and that if they didn’t like it we could look at other options after a year, ” the mother told the Australian site 9honey Parenting.
In an interview the woman admitted that she didn’t know what the right thing to do was and even joked that they could have simply switched places, since they were both identical. “They can keep their personalities, of course, and it would be very interesting to see what happens as an experiment. But my husband thought I was ridiculous and he said no,” she said.
After classes began, Li-Ann noticed the difference between the two institutions. One of the points the woman noted was the monthly fee, which was like “chalk and cheese.” The cost of private school was $10,000 (about R$49,000 at current prices) more than public school, in addition to spending small sums such as $20 to visit a sports field, $1,400 on camping trips and equipment such as notebooks . In the public sector it was necessary to cover operating expenses.
Another point was sporting activities. At Luca, who studies privately, everything is done within the institute; Hamish now had to do this externally. As for uniforms, one required a full uniform for each sport, while the other was simpler.
Despite the values, the mother admits that “you get what you pay for” and that private companies put more pressure on children to have a good income. The public one offers a lighter atmosphere. “I noticed that one of them studies a lot more because she wants to keep her job, while the other takes it easy,” she explains.
He also reveals that this is not the first time the brothers have studied separately. The mother says she wanted them to have their own experiences and she separated them in elementary school. “They were frustrated because teachers tend to confuse them and they don’t like all that attention. They just want to be themselves, which we encourage wholeheartedly,” she explains.
