Val - I still think the original placement is probably the best - and I feel I need to base the placement advice on academics rather than economics, because correct academic placement is so important to how your year goes. I
care about that - I want a
wonderful year for you and for your dc, and I don't want to feel like I gave the wrong impression saying an alternate placement was as snug of a fit as what was really on my mind as the best suggestion. So,
you really will know best because you know how heavily to weigh age, placement, combining/not combining and economics, but that is what is on my heart for you!
Praying for you as you plan your year - may it be a wonderful one for you and your dc!
In Christ,
Julie
*edited because I believe I jumped on a soapbox there for a bit
, really about placement in general, which is not as helpful to your individual needs
