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 agree.  That's probably the type of scenario the SSPX priest mentioned with homeschooling being "child abuse".  I've seen this happen in a number of cases, where the children were living in a bubble so that when they finally went out into the real world, it was a shock to their system, and they were unable to cope.  Several of them ended up just losing the faith, perhaps because the whole thing was too much for them, and they resented their parents from keeping them in some kind of mini-cult as they viewed it.  They were incapable of socializing and dealing with situations even among other Traditional Catholics.  In fact, it is very easy for the home-schooling environment to resemble a little cult, not unlike a David Koresh compound but on a smaller scale.

Many children had chores and worked jobs when they turned a certain age. 

Then there many home schoolers who are fed to wolves by going to secular universities.

I know a young woman who recently graduated from a 4 year school. She didn't get "indoctrinated" or anything like that, but she feels she has to find a job and get rid of her debt first... By the time that's done she'll be at least 30. This is also a huge issue.

the OLD SSPX, Classic SSPX was ALSO negative on homeschooling, especially where and when they had set up a school.
When I was in the indult (FSSP and ICRSS), I noticed they were very pro-homeschooling (probably ∵ they didn't have their own schools like the SSPX does). One FSSP priest I knew even regularly attended annual homeschooling conferences.

The FSSP parish here hosts a very large homeschooling co-op (~50 students!). Indult, diocesan, SSPX, and other trad-minded all attend.

What's the Resistance's stand on homeschooling?

Good question. If you're sending your child/children to Catholic school, I assume you're forking out money. Not something at least a lot of -35 year old couples have. Most sedes/resistance homeschool. If I could I would co-op my children as well.
