I have experience with co-ops in Texas (a homeschool-favored state) and Iowa (moderately difficult to homeschool legally). In both states, the co-ops are resources for the parents more than the children. Once-a-week classes are normal but function more as a social hour; the bulk of co-op funding (i.e. dues) goes to teaching parents how to teach their children.
