Former teacher here. Homeschool your kids. If algebra is beyond you there are lots of former teachers who quit so they could actually teach, myself included. We would love to tutor your kids ;-)

I'm in my final and 20th year of homeschooling my 4 children. It is the most rewarding thing I have done in my 58 years. I wasn't confident that I could do it 20 years ago, but it was very successful and my kids are all very well-adjusted, educated and very likable adults. My oldest graduated college Magna Cum Laude, I have two in college and one finishing high school. I would encourage everyone to pursue homeschooling. It's not hard, there are lots of resources, and you'll be very happy that you spent their most important formative years in their midst.

I have to applaud anyone who has been able to do homeschooling. That is a remarkable accomplishment for you.

After a child is literate, all they really need are rich information sources.

After my RN mother brought me home from the hospital, she and my (8 year) older sister started reading to me every chance they got and didn't stop until I could read to them. I entered first grade reading at a third grade level with a junior high vocabulary. I read my mother's nursing textbooks when I was in 6th grade, after beginning to work my way through a World Book Encyclopedia that my sister and I had received as a joint Christmas present the previous year
