Groovygirl you mentioned 28 students and that I perhaps can understand a bit because I normally work with 16-18 kids at the most with my teacher and we only do this for 4 hours since we only have half day kindergarten. I am sorry and I am not being mean or anything however it is not the same as being a teacher when your a mom your a mom 24/7 no matter what and while she Michelle does have some older kids all are home and her eldest is 20 years old.On the other hand she has so many little ones running around so therefore again there is no way without the help of her elder children could she Michelle be there on any level for 19 children. For instance if you read the article she answers the question that she is tired and has morning sickness and has her 16 year old daughter doing the teaching, how could she do this for not having her older children help. Finally I am all for children helping and doing chores all my 3 children from when they were small learned to keep their rooms clean. They make their own beds, dust their furniture, put away their laundry, mow the lawn, help with the animals and so forth. However I was always the mom and never would ever dream of my children having to raise their siblings, sorry but I guess we have to agree to disagree, they are only children once .Peace. Catherine
