I agree. The kids don't know anything different, although once they get to be a certain age and have been exposed to "the world" I feel they have a responsibility to figure things out for themselves. I don't think so. Give me a child until he is seven, and I will show you the manJesuit maximOne of the possible disadvantages of home schooling is the single point of view. The Duggar kids are on national television. They are followed around by a camera crew. They are routinely featured in People magazine, and have travelled the world on TLC's dime. They have been exposed to many points of view, and are not your average Christian homeschoolers.

No, they were exposed to much more and many more people than the average sequestered home schooled christian children. Views of some others.

I don't think so. Give me a child until he is seven, and I will show you the manJesuit maximOne of the possible disadvantages of home schooling is the single point of view. It sure seems to be true in my family. My sister home schooled and is very 'devout'. Her children that have children school age are also home schooling and believe in the quiverful doctrine. I never gave it much thought really until I read the curriculum and realized what it is they teach their kids. Her kids are the same as her in many ways. They all seem to be happy though, so I suppose that's important. One thing for sure, they will not be taught about evolution as my sister doesn't believe we evolved and holds with the created doctrine.

I cam imagine they have cut themselves off from the biological science fields. And reality in some cases.

I remember talking with that sister one time about how the brain works because I was fascinated with something I had just learned and wanted to share it with her. She looked at me and literally put her hands over her ears and said she didn't want to hear it. I was totally surprised because the subject wasn't all that contraversial and just something new found out.
