It is sad that you have to spend an hour a day improving upon your sons inconsequential weakness instead of being able to foster his strenghts. If he is indeed brilliant he will one day pick up spelling through osmosis, or maybe not. It too

I think the spying should definitely be illegal as it would be in Europe because of privacy concerns. The financing is a little more problematic because you could argue a lot of things should be illegal like Louis Vuitton handbags for examp

Does the car come with stock? If not it is investing your money for somebody else's benefit, aka charity. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
