What a great list of benefits of homeschool co-ops. I especially liked # 9, 10 & 11 (variety of teachers, accountability and support for parents), because those are the main benefits I received by being in a co-op.

You also mentioned the various types of co-ops large and small and the pros of each. Sometimes small co-ops grow into large co-ops and the leaders find themselves managing larger groups of people, in a larger space and handling more money. My website HomeschoolCPA.com
has a lot of tools to help homeschool leaders including articles, ebooks and audios. My book Homeschool Co-ops: How to Start Them, Run Them and Not Burn Out can also help a homeschool co-op leader run a successful co-op, whether small, medium or large, without burning out!
