Homeschool your kids
It is very easy to do up through 8th grade. I homeschooled my 3 kids. You go to the library on the weekend and you get enough books for the entire week. When they are first learning to read it might by 20 books, later as they get up to Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web it is five books a week, then by sixth grade to 8th grade it might even get to one book a week (about a hundred pages a day).
Reading books is how I teach English and History. Science is done with both books and these science videos they also have at the library. The kids watch the movie while they eat lunch so they see one movie a day. There are many very good ones.
Math has excellent interactive computer programs that take you all the way through algebra.
One motivation to the kids to read the books is that when they finish the book they can see the movie. Keep a list of all the books your kids read and you will be stunned it will be hundreds.
Gym was Karate class, two of my kids became black belts.
Music was violin class. All three learned to play the violin.
You can also get books on tape which will help their listening comprehension and also help you to do a better job with scheduling the day.
Geography class the Where's Waldo computer game, it was great at helping the kids become familiar with cities and countries all over the world, what they looked like, where they were on a map, and what the main industries were.
The amazing world of goo is a great engineering problem game to help them with critical thinking skills.
