Well homeschooling moms on the HS board, many of you have been homeschooling for quite a long time.
I know it's a labor of love, and that the rewards are being with your kids and knowing that you've played an important part in your
child(ren)'s education.
And, we're blessed to be able to do this.
But...sometimes I wonder.
How much do you think you'd be worth out there in the real world, considering your org skills, talents, and broad range of knowledge after teaching every (stinkin') subject under the sun for up to 12 years straight, often several times with multiple students?
This, of course, is tongue-in-cheek. Let's have some fun with this. :D
I'd say I'm worth at least $200K, considering all the additional things I have to do on top of homeschooling, no? :)
Don't worry, this isn't a pity-party thing. But I am tired, sometimes. Esp at curriculum-hunting time.
(After all, I *did* volunteer for this job, so I can't very well whine about the work. )
Any thoughts?
