If you consider most schools run about 30 to 35 hours a week.
Wouldn't that would be about $100, $300 and $500 a semester hour?
Better double check my math, I went to public schools. But a $100 an
hour doesn't sound cheap to me.


I guess it's all about priorities. Most of us here spend more than that
$100/hr for our pleasure trips via airplane.


Well John, my point was that per semester hour the cost was almost
comparable to a state university. But let's look at it your way as well.

If a child goes to school 6 hours day, 5 days a week, 36 weeks a year - they
can put 25 students in a class room and "fly" it for $162 hr.

Depending on how you spin it from there, at 6 hours a day 22 days a month -
the class room would yield a little better than $17,500 a month. Now
granted, you have to maintain the classroom and teacher all year long. But
at $160,000 a year, you should be able to afford a little downtime.

But again, I was publicly educated, so don't hold me to all this.
