[quote=Anonymous]My friend in another state just joined an existing a pod for one of her 3 kids (youngest because older are in private -middle or can manage -HS)

Her pod works like this:
4-5 families (I can't remember)
each family hosts for one week
In her state, DL is only half day. 
They hired a teacher to stay with the kids from 9-3 and each family pays $300 per week. 
Good deal for teacher -- but another state -- VA would cost more for those hours I think
Teacher facilitates morning DL for all kids, they eat lunch together, teacher assists in afternoons with kids individual work, they must have some breaks built in but I don't know
She says they are happy they joined; another family found this teacher who is a gem she doesn't think she could have found or contracted the person so well

Risks: kids are unmasked and indoors 3-4 others. For them it's worth the risk because their youngest kid was suffering and so was family. If any family in the pod has a known COVID exposure the family in the pod stays out for the week-2 weeks.

We homeschool this year because my work is flexible and so is DH so we take turns and my kids get a lot of free time
