[QUOTE="Jessie, post: 1369327, member: 19107"] We’ve been homeschooling for around 18 years. And we had a surprise baby in our mid forties, so we’ve got 13 more years to go. Co-ops are plentiful where we live, but finding the right one is trickier. Usually, if you have one that’s associated with your church, it’s going to be the best fit. The kids tend to blend more seamlessly since they’ve been together for Sunday school and park days, etc. But like the previous poster said, there are usually a lot more families than 4-8, although you can find that. 20-100 families is the norm. And really, you can set them up any way you choose. Elementary grades are super easy to teach, so co-op classes tend to be fun. Lego Club, PE, American Girl, crafting, rocket building, etc. Parents teach them and they are free or low cost. For the older grades, we hire professional teachers that we know and trust and pay them a monthly fee. There are so many different kinds of co-ops, but this style works best for us, having a large family with a wide age range. [/QUOTE]
