Hunter mom observation - I can barely think of a child who is not (1) an only or (2) a first born or (3) if has an older sib the older sib is also at hunter. Plenty of hunter kids with younger sibs at other schools. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Are you sure BOTH dc started in K? I know a few sets of sibs, but in each case one of the kids entered at a different point. One set, the first dc entered in pre-K and the other in K, the other 2 sets one dc entered in pre-K or K and the other one came in at the HS level. [ Reply | More
