frugalmamatx Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Money is very much an object here as well. What I would do with it changes from year to year.  In a perfect world, I'd probably opt for private school this coming year, since I'm pretty much burnt out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 If money was limitless, then I'd have time as a limit! ;) Â There just wouldn't be the time to do everything I'd want to do. Â But staying within reasonable limits, money would provide more opportunities for travel to learn language, culture, history, music and sport/dance. Also it would be great to have opportunities to study specific natural environments such as marine, tropical rainforests, desert, mountain, arctic.

AggieMama Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 If money were no object I would have a ton of fun. I would be able to quit my job and homeschool full time. I would have weekly field trips including memberships to the zoo, science museum, children's museum, and other attractions. I would have a room dedicated to homeschooling that was large and stocked with whatever I needed. I would have books galore for my girls to read and lots of comfy places to read. I would take my kids on monthly trips so we could explore new places and probably every three mo tha or so take a week or two off to go on a trip and explore what we are learning. I would have my girls take piano and violin classes. I would have a private tutor that comes in several times a week for both Spanish and French. We would continue with dance and swimming, but probably add more dance classes and private swim lessons. I would probably add gymnastics, karate, and at least one team sport per season. My girls like to stay very busy. I would probably join a co-op and buy all the curriculum I've been drooling over since before my kids were born. I would get computers and iPads for the kids and myself. I would definately get a maid and a mommy helper to keep my girls individually occupied while I work one on one with them. All of this would be nice, and I have thought it over a lot, but I like my life the way it is now too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drjuliadc Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I knew this would be fun. I never in a million years thought I would get an answer from a former Swiss boarding school teacher though. Ha ha. That was just the most expensive thing that popped in my head. Also, my mother used to say that the rich had it right and sent their kids to boarding school when they were teens. She had 4 juvenile delinquents so I'm sure that colored her perception. Â Since my kids aren't really school age yet, as I ponder homeschooling them, and it seems impossible to me, I wondered how many homeschooling moms would choose private school if they could afford it. Â There is an expensive private school here that is very well regarded. I think it would be a great educational choice, but I think it has the "bratty" problem too. Â Our public schools here are considered very good too, but rampant cussing is prevalent in middle school and heroin is a thing in the high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof4inco Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I would hire a maid to do the cleaning and laundry, freeing me up to concentrate on the kids and not the carpet that needs cleaning, the laundry that will never truly be done, or the ferret poop that needs to be scooped. I would buy all the awesome curriculum I've been looking at online. I would stop worrying about how we are going to pay for dual enrollment classes once they are in high school. We could finally travel to see the neat stuff we are learning about instead of putting everything towards medical bills. Â Without all the money in the world... I'll still be happy that I am able to be home with our kids, teaching them the way I want to. I'll still be okay with not ever being able to take a vacation with the kids, because wishing away those medical bills would be wishing away two awesome kids. My kids are happy that I can't afford all the awesome curriculum, because their days would be crazy if I bought all of it. I would still love to hire a maid... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Housecleaner - someone comes weekly and deep cleans. ;)  School - I'd buy all my TOG books + alternate resources, BJU science DVDs and expensive science kits. We aren't really needing tutors yet, so that's not on my radar. Books, books, and more books. And more bookshelves. And a bigger house to hold said bookshelves. :p  Extras - we were able to do quite a bit this last year, but we found time to be a major constraint. So, I'd say more dog classes, museum memberships, and field trips, but I don't know how much time we'd really have to put into all that anyway. A grand piano. Because since we are getting a bigger house, we need a bigger, badder piano, right?!?  Travel. That's one thing we don't do and I would love to. Like, Norway traveling. Cruise to Alaska. My friend's in Ireland right now and I drool everyday at her FB pictures. Far away....  Okay, back to my regular life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Travel for both language and cultural immersion. We would take a few years and not have a "home", just move about from country to country as our tourist visas expired. And then, when we returned to the U.S. someday (assuming we did), we would go live in one of those expensive cities that we love but can't figure out how to comfortably live in. Â I wondered how many homeschooling moms would choose private school if they could afford it. Â Â Honestly, if I could find a school that would be a good fit for my daughter's academic and social needs, private school is what we would have done in the first place. Availability is the issue, not finances. (Well, at least at what the private schools around me charge. If we were in one of those places where private school costs $30-40k, it would be an issue.)

Loesje22000 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I would have hired a technical education teacher for TE so dd would have passed this exam.  If dd would like to go to school this would be an option: http://www.scholanova.be/EN/admission.html or one of the European or British Schools.  But I think she still would like homeschooling :)  Maybe I would buy 2 houses. One like where we live now, a cultural area, with choirs, music, musea and a decent library. I've missed that soooo much...

eternallytired Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 There's a one-day-a-week school around here for homeschoolers that offers Spanish, music, PE, art, and communications classes. I think that would be awesome because it would cover all those extras that I never feel like I'm doing well enough (or that are hard to do with just three kids or that I don't know enough about). We also know several families who send their kids there and love it, so it has a good reputation and the opportunity for the kids to make friends (a current struggle). Buuut the cost ends up being a little more than we can spend comfortably--even moreso since DD would still want to do dance and ODS would never want to give up guitar.  If we're really dreaming big then I'll add a housekeeper and quite a bit of travel. And a house with some land--ideally with a creek and a house for my parents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2att Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 As others have stated, if money were no object, we would still homeschool. We would just use the money for lots and lots of educational experiences, namely travel. Â I actually had a friend ask me the "if money were no object would you choose private school instead" question very early on in my homeschooling. I had sort of fallen into homeschooling as a default because there's no way we could afford private. It was probably only six months into homeschooling that she asked me that question, and I surprised myself by answering no. In that short time I found that homeschooling was so much more than what and how we learned, it was about relationships and time and who we are as a family. It's going on 15 years later now, and my answer remains the same. Â If Hogwarts were an option, however, I suspect that would have been my children's choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can travel in a crappy car and camp. :) Â I think the main thing I would do if I had money was save more for college. To ensure tuition at least. Â I think my kids are getting a great education. We just need more time. Time to use our science center membership, to practice instruments more, etc. They will swim an hour or two a day all summer, read their target language, travel to one historical site... We aren't rich but we have enough for educating kids. Â My main concern is to take scholarship pressure off. I am saving. I should save more. Â Private tutors here are well within reach on my salary.
