    I’m in the wrong business. Blogging nets me maybe $10 per week on ad sales. I should have opened a co-op school instead.

    Vicki Daly and Kelly Traldi were moms looking for more.

    Both were mothers of five who home-schooled their children. Both were in the same predicament — they liked the at-home format but wanted to blend it with a traditional classroom setting.

    The women, who met at a home-school support group, searched for a school that would allow them to mix the two methods but found the selection was limited. So last year, Daly and Traldi formed a hybrid school of their own, St. Hilary’s Home School, where parents teach on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and students report to the classroom — located at Catholic Church of St. Monica in Duluth — on Mondays and Thursdays.

    …Parents who pay the $16,000 tuition and enroll in the school receive a curriculum designed by the two moms.

    Sixteen grand?! For a part-time private school where the parents still have to give some of the tests? How do I get in on some of this action? Franchise opportunity, anyone? Maybe someone else needs to read Ex. 20.

    I wonder if that is a typo and should be $1600 per year?

    Sure– burst my bubble. I had dreams of my 100 acres in Wyoming.

    Well, with the application fee and enrollment fee, it’s still upwards of $1,800 per kid — not shabby. Ten acres?
