I can't say much about religious homeschool groups...I suppose, depending on what's being taught the community people live in, things could turn out well. But again, if you're not taught how to deal with the varying world views you will assuredly come across it can take its toll. I would probably say the same for any sort of place that polarizes a particular aspect of culture, whether it be religion, gender, etc.
That raises an interesting point: How would one homeschooled in a purely religious setting turn out?

I myself have been witness to a case of this, and that outcome has potentially devastating consequences. Have you ever tried to have a scientific, or for that matter, any kind of debate with someone who is intensely close minded, and refuses to acknowledge one's point as remotely valid/viable?


Tiffany, whether you cihld is gifted/advanced or not, try to allow her to experience many different view points so that she can form her own. Having an open mind is very important. (I'm actually a closet atheist, becuase my parents would kill me if they found out. They are devout christians)
