Raymond S. Moore

The Moores' 1975 book Better Late Than Early summarizes research supporting their contention that children are not psychologically ready for formal learning until age eight to ten.

"Home schooling is the wave of the future for many Christian parents concerned about the dangers of the secular humanist indoctrination their children receive in our public schools. This book is must reading for home-school teachers because it gives 'how to' suggestions that can literally make dedicated parents the best teachers their children will ever have."

As a researcher in the field of early child development, I can say this book does an excellent job of presenting an unbiased, very research-based view on the issue of school entrance age and early formal academic study.

The Morres provide valuable home-school curricula and teaching materials for home-schoolers and in addition, case histories. They give suggestions on how to cope when home teaching is challenged on legal grounds and excerpts from legal proceedings of court cases which found in favor of home school.
