We currently require the home school groups to abide by the same rules as
the school groups. We allow 1 chaperone per 10 students. This is something
that will begin this school year. The parents will decide which adult will
chaperone the class. That adult will not pay an admission charge. The rest
of the parents are allowed to pay admission and tour the museum. The
parents or siblings are not allowed in the classroom.

I have come to seek the advise of my peers.
I run home school classes, in which children can be signed up as
individuals, instead of requiring a whole of group mixed age kids that is
pretty difficult to teach anyway. In years past I have allowed escorts and
adults into the home school classes free due to a weird
student-teacher-ratio I have for other school groups, and as a
courtesy/community spirit builder thing, that I couldn't figure how to
achieve when home schoolers signed up as individuals, and their moms wanted
in as well. Can't do that any more, and want to know how other facilities
handle similiar charges/situations. Do I charge full admission price, or a
lower price to keep the courtesy?
Do you also charge the siblings that must accompany the group/parent as
well, even though they may be too young for that particular class, or are
not left in someone else's care during class.
