Parents and teachers tell stories about saints and Jesus. In the upper grades, the reading books teach children about pioneer and immigrant Catholic families traveling and working together to make America a better country. Stories of sacrifice to bring priests and the sacraments to families are very common in the Faith and Freedom readers. Reading day after day about good Catholic family life, and discussing it, home-schooled children can come to appreciate their own family. Parents who teach their children at home find a respect from their children which many parents do not have today.
Children develop an understanding of their brothers and sisters, and help each other learn.
Dad is not left out, either, but becomes a special teacher, who is an integral part in the upbringing of the children. Home schooling will definitely bring about a change in your family life. Most of us find it a special joy which is difficult to describe. We know for certain, however, that home schooling is not a last alternative, but God's plan for the best in Christian family life. Once you start, you'll never want to give it up.
