I think the thing about siblings being close can be true. My own experience is that my dc are very close in a way they might not be if they were in school. I’m not saying it isn’t possible to be close to siblings if you are in school, just that it is a different experience to being with them all day every day and to your education happening together as a sibling group.
However the flip side is that they also need to be give the opportunity to have time away from each other to develop their own interests and spread their wings. My children do their own activities, they would actually be happy to do them together but I deliberately put them into separate groups.
