My vague lead-in plan was along the lines of "run a weekend/holiday program to build network and when/if the kids and parents love it, see if they want more." I will get some government funding per student, as long as I'm doing some of the things they want, which I would be.
1 would be amazing and I should think more at some point in the future about how to do that - thanks for the idea, I hadn't thought of it!
2 is what I'm looking for and it's possible given my location.
3 I have a bunch of teachers who are interested, so I think I'd be doing this with at least one other person, even if it's small, so hopefully we just don't get sick at the same time. Though I'd have a network for if this happens.
4 I'm going to look for a mentor who has done a similar thing. Now is not a good time to look because the school year (I'm in Australia) starts in a week, so everyone's very busy.
5 I have a guy who can help in finding startup money and who thinks it's possible, so I'm deferring worrying about this for a while.
Thanks again for the comment! You're right that this possibly isn't the best place for this post. So I'll likely not be posting here again about this unless it's more relevant.
