so, if you DO have a degree in the field - there will be parents who value education and a small teacher/child ratio who will pay it.
but i guess the fact i only keep 4 may be part of the enticement since i actually have time to pay attention to their kids.

$175 is unheard of because the local economy won't support it.
Where I live $175 a week would get you laughed out of town, because we have an extremely depressed local economy where a majority of the kids go to state funded pre-k and head start programs.
If you want to clean out poopy underwear, go for it. Just don't assume that those of who don't are undereducated fops who don't have time to properly "pay attention to their kids" because we are all keeping 30 placated in front of the television.
