  Remember The Parent Trap? The identical twins who were separated after their parents broke up because they didn’t want to have to constantly switch them between two different schools? There's a simple solution to that . It's called homeschooling.  I might’ve only watched the movie because my mom made me, but it still made me think. How exactly is their “solution” better?  Honestly, wha t kind of parents break up twins and never tell them that the other exists? I don’t have a twin, but I know plenty of them and I’ve asked them about it and researched this topic since I’ve always wanted one.  Not only is it completely unfair to deny the girls their right to know their sister, but separating identical twins can cause physiological issues later in life.
