they view their schools as vocations breeding grounds.
Homeschooling does, too.

Homeschool: benefits souls, but not the SSPX at all
Really? I've known some homeschooled young men and women who're becoming SSPX priests or religious in SSPX-affiliated communities.

So does the Resistance promote homeschooling?
(I know the Avrillé Dominicans run a school. Are they also pro-homeschooling?)

Yes the neo-SSPX is against homeschooling, and I'll go you one better -- the OLD SSPX, Classic SSPX was ALSO negative on homeschooling, especially where and when they had set up a school.

I would describe their attitude towards homeschooling as "tolerant at best". They HATE it when you say "Our Lord was homeschooled".

What I'm saying is, the old SSPX wasn't perfect, and one of those FEW POINTS of imperfection was their over-emphasis on their organization as being great. As Fr. (later, bishop) Frank Slupski said, "They think they're the Church" and his criticism was spot-on. They did have a tedency to think themselves better than other Trad priests and smaller groups -- and that pride is PRECISELY what caused their downfall years later!

They are so obsessed with the good of their organization, that they throw anything and everyone else under the bus -- homeschooling, other independent priests and apostolates, etc. "All for the group!", "Rah Rah Team!"

It's always been the thing you have to put up with or swallow, in order to enjoy all the benefits the SSPX offered (and still, to a lesser extent, offers to this day). They are SO high on themselves -- as an organization. Not talking about particular priests. But some of them embody this spirit more than others.

I could understand if they were against homeschooling only if there was a SSPX school available 9even then, it needs to be highly qualified criticism), but if none was available, then it seems they (SSPX priests) would want to highly encourage homeschooling and be willing to support the parent's efforts so as to prevent the parents from giving up on homeschooling and then send their kids to public school. 

Hopefully most SSPX priests will be smart enough to qualify their criticism against homeschooling and not make blanket statements against all homeschooling.

I have witnessed the good results of homeschooling.  Many young people are trying to live their faith.  Many coudn’t afford to send their families to these private schools.  

Looking at older people who attended Catholic schools prior to Vatican II, many who attended didn’t live out their faith and weren’t properly catechized.
Money wasted. 

Yes, so many scandals involving SSPX schools. History has repeated itself.  No better than the novus Ordo.  The novus Ordo doesn’t like homeschooling because it loses out on tuition.  Money.  Which trad parishes and schools were pushing the vax and masks. You will know them by their fruits. 

Many years ago, Catholic schools were paid with parish collections and it was low cost and good education because nuns were teachers and priests too.  There was Catholic schools for girls and another school for boys.

Firstly, I say the neo-SSPX is as bad as the indult now.

If you are going to homeschool, make sure the children get socialized appropriately before too long. Get them into sports, how to cope with hardships, lose at things, build character, etc. Lot's of trad homeschoolers have no clue how to operate in any capacity in the real world after 18 years of age it seems. I DO NOT MEAN MOVE OUT.

I think it's because they are low-key spoiled. Especially if they come from a more well off family. 99 percent of the time, this is the case.

Doing things like meals on wheels is a great way for young children to see the world in a supervised manner as well.
