    • Years back I remember some trads recommending The Trivium (can't add Amazon link for some reason) by Sister Miriam Joseph. Though she was a fan of Mortimer Adler and Jacques Maritain.

    Some would have people believe that I'm a deceiver because I've used various handles on different Catholic forums. They only know this because I've always offered such information, unprompted. Various troll accounts on FE. Ben on SuscipeDomine. Patches on ABLF 1.0 and TeDeum. GuitarPlucker, Busillis, HatchC, and Rum on Cathinfo.

    [Catholic Home Schooling: A Handbook for Parents is an] out-of-print TAN book by Seton Homeschool director Dr. Mary Kay Clark.
    Thanks yet again! This is one of the best works I've read on Catholic education! It does an excellent job refuting all the errors of modern public, private, and parochial schooling, and really convinced me the value of Catholic marriages and families for society.
    I liked the section on socialization, that true Catholic socialization is the works of charity, and the family is the best way to train children how to practice fraternal charity.
    And that socialists deem schools "necessary" for socialization (but there wouldn't be any issue if families weren't so small due to contraception!).

    • www.Joyfulcatholic.com is the same as MOS  Mother of our Son, Refugee of Sinners.

    Dr. David Allen White of the Naval Academy spoke to home schoolers in the 90's.  An 18 year old young man convert Dr. White to the Catholic Church. Dr. White said at that time, the students he was receiving could not read well, so he could not teach them til they had a remedial class for reading to be able to progress.  That bad!!  He said he would rather have students home schooled, even it it were to play cards, they are learning!! those students that were home schooled, he had no problems with their reading skills.  He saw the difference.

    I was taught my mormons of the dumbing down. They directed me to the enemy's books and the USCCB also was appalling!  Not only did we home school but we also saw the lies of the New Order and went traditional, AMEN!  We all had a lot to learn!!
