UMM, and "why" can only parents of twins or multiples have input regarding the placement of their children? PARENTS should have PRIORITY over the 'school' when it comes to the classes and teachers their children are subjected to...some 'teachers' still in 'service' today should have been RETIRED by 'the system' a long time ago...

This bill does not give parents of multiples priority in placing their children with certain teachers but rather allows multiples to be in the same classroom. We do not have a policy stating that friends can not be together but yet many school systems in Virginia will not let siblings.
