Comments and CO-OP

No I did not turn my comments off. I am not real sure why they were not working.  And I did not realize some people were just not able to comment.  I have checked and re-checked my settings. So hopefully it will work!!!

 

To answer your questions Kim our local ISP is huge we have several Coops going in different areas of the city I live in. The East County (mine) got so huge they split it into Class day 1 (takes place 1st and 3rd Thursday) and Class Day II (2nd and 4th Thursday).  All mom's are required at least to work 2 periods during the 3 period day.  The break up of ages is like this Preschool and babies (only for mom's who are teaching, Kindergarten, Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6, Grades 7-12.  Everyone pools their resources and teaches classes that they are best suited to.  We have everything from Arts & crafts to Chemistry!  I usually send my dc to what I won't or don't like to teach at home. Those range from Spanish, arts & crafts, real art, Social Studies, Math fun, PE, and Drama.  In CA we do have the requirements for taking the Ca History usually done in 4th.  So it is nice to have those done by other people.  It is pretty much run by volunteer coordinators and a volunteer principal.
