RE: When You've Had Enough - Quit!

Yep, would be a lot more fun. There are two important things kids need to learn growing up. How money works, and how to work with people. You figure out these two, you can simply allow them to find out what they like to do, and then help them create a business around it. And they'll be set for life.

We've got 3 kids, and we are homeschooling. Enjoying the process too :D

That's really interesting.. I've read a lot about Americans doing homeschooling - but never a Norwegian. In Canada its almost non-existent.

Good luck with the homeschooling - I like your approach to teaching business fundamentals nice and early. School usually teaches kids how to get a job and make money - teaching them what to do with it is a significant advantage!

Thanks a lot @rgeddes ! Yeah, out of 60.000 kids in every age bracket, there are 600 that are homeschooled. About 1 percent. We enjoy it, and I'm glad that it is still legal in Norway. Many European countries have outlawed it. If that would be the case in Norway, we would have to move.

I really believe schooling is a waste of time, but learning is not. You just have to spend time learning things that you are passionate about. We're excited to be part of the process of teaching our kids to read and write. Not many parents use that luxury.
