Sure.  There are 90 students.  90 * $200 = $18,000.  $18,000 / 10 years
is $1,800 per year.

Perhaps you should tell us whether you went to public or private school
so we could immediately jump to conclusions about the quality of your
education.

>Howw are you going to get 6 classes into 3 rooms?

One hour at a time.

>six seperate subjects?

Certified math and sciences teachers in Texas are only required to take
3 hours of math and science.  I have 60 or 70 (probably more like 90 or
100, considering how many different majors I had ...) of those subjects.
I could probably teach Math, Science, History and Reading with little or
no effort.  After all, I =do= have a college degree...

Plan administration costs?  Are you serious?  This is how I'd administer
the plan.

I'd call my State Farm agent, say "Can you give me a quote on some teachers
I've got.  I'd like to pay for health insurance coverage for them."  Then
I'd call my stock broker and say "Can you give me some literature on good
mutual funds.  I'm going to be contributing money to a mutual fund on
behalf of some employees."

Hell no.  If I spend any more time on this I'm going to give up on selling
the house and moving to Sint Maarten and open a private school instead.
