My daughter has been home schooled since she was 4 (she's now 11 1/2). Our county has a GREAT homeschool association and she loves everything to do with it.

She took her first standarized test lest year (the Iowa test) and placed in the top 2% of the nation and was on a high school level for everything but math, and with that she was on an 8th grade level.

With her homeschool group she takes spanish, art, piano, and dance (ballet and pointe) and they have an outing once a week and a sleep over at one of our houses once a month.

By homeschooling I can teach her things that just arent allowed in public school and arent gone over in depth with her age group at church....She is WELL aware of the different religions, we have classes about them. She is WELL aware of atheism as well, especially since a lot of my friends are atheists. But my reasoning is two fold...the religion aspect and the fact that she is as smart as I was and would have gotten VERY bored in public school, like I did.
