Yeah, I can beliewe that is a good investment, but sadly home schooling is illegal in my country. How is it, do you have to fulfill some obligations before you can start homeschooling your kids? How about age, for how long can you homeschool them, and can you choose what you teach them? How does come out financially, do you get some tax reduction, or does the money the education costs for your community partly go back to you? As you maybe see is the idea of homeschooling pretty new and alien to mee.
Yeah, I loved Independent people to (not the ending though) and I also loved the book Íslandsklukkan (The Icelandic clock????). These two books are it seems one of Laxness least socialistic, although the ending in Independent people shows his belief in the socialistic cause of the unions. He was an exceptional writer, but a little lost person, going from beliew in socialism, then getting religion (becomin Catholic) and then loosing it again, he is still fought over today, thera are two books after two differendt authors about him now promoted as the essential christmas gift.
