gavra_at_work: You’re right that yeshivas are not reduced babysitting. The point is that I am paying tuition, an exhorbitant amount i might add, and on top of that i have to pay for additional babyisitting for the many many days off that the schools give. As an aside, as mentioned above, babysitting is alot more sometimes. Being that i do not have the knowledge necessary to be a full time morah to my children, but we do have the chiyuv to teach them, we send them to a yeshiva/BY. I cant just stop sending them.

So vote with your feet and brain. If your husband is in Kollel, he can teach all of the Torah topics. Try a homeschooling program (maybe an online one), they do make it easier, and teach yourself the secular material (at least until high school, it shouldn’t be difficult).

Or as I suggested to ABCD, try opening a school.
