Dear 2nd amendment mama,
LOL! That's a great story!
We're thinking that for high school, we might send our guys to the Catholic high school from which I graduated. To help with the tuition and related costs (for both, it would be over $25,000 per year), my wife was thinking that in a few years, she might go back to work, at least to get the guys through high school.
She was fretting about this with her friend, who is the head of the art department at another local Catholic school. My wife's degree is in art, and the friend said, oh, you can come work with me, teaching here at the school.
My wife protested that how could she be qualified to teach, she didn't have any sort of education credentials.
My wife's friend laughed hysterically, "First, CATHOLIC SCHOOLS DON'T CARE ABOUT EDUCATION CREDENTIALS!! If you know you're field, we'd be inclined to give you a job. Second, as to your teaching credentials, JUST WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THE LAST SIX AND A HALF YEARS??? You have more teaching experience then LOTS of our faculty had when they first started, and they did just fine, too!"
Personally, having taught at the high school level, the college level, and to professionals in corporate settings, I can vouch for my wife's teaching abilities. Like most moms, she's made an outstanding teacher.

Oh yes!!! You're wife should definitely apply to the school then. I'm sure she'd be a great asset and I'll just bet that the student's would love her. People who have homeschooled tend to make classes more exciting - they actually research the subjects themselves rather than just relying on printed books. Let your wife know that this "mama" says....go for it!!!
