Here's what I found in a kindly reply to my e-mail to the leaders:  Apparently, the co-op leaders feel justified in their pricing, claiming they pay their instructors, (no mention of credentialed or not), $30.00 a class. However, I was also told they do not pay for the use of their building.    I was also told "not to judge" before asking questions and what they do is a ministry.

I was very tempted to reply and point out that Jesus never once charged for his teaching, but I decided to leave it alone.  Instead this is what has been on my mind all day:

  Maybe I need to  take a long look at myself and wonder if I'm in some way holding out, being a tad on the selfish side when it comes to helping others in the name of God, be it with homeschooling, or any other area God is speaking to me about.  Funny how something that starts as an outrage against others turns to a reflection of ones self!
