There are multiple articles like it, where people were upset regarding the secular schooling in schools. They insist on giving God-based teachings in things that are, well, tough in schools, instead of the secular, avoid of god, things they teach..

So, what would be some examples of test questions and answers for Christians based exams?
Math:
Q: 2x + 5 = 25, solve 'x'
A: (with work shown)
With God everything is possible = f(x)
x = God.
American civil war history:
Q: How did North win the war?
A: God guided them.
Chemistry:
Q: How do you keep Sulfur trioxide (SO3) from becoming sulfuric acid?
A: Pray hard and if your soul is pure no acid will become.
OK.. I made these up but are there some actual examples that are taught in these religious private or home schoolings?

As far as I can tell, religious-minded education enthusiasts want to make changes in only a few select areas: evolutionary theory, sex ed, and certain interpretations of history. The most rabid probably object to studying non-Christian cultures in a positive light, but I'd think/hope they'd be a minority.

I wish my school was biblically inspired. Maths would have been so much easier if pi was 3.

LOL. You are poorly informed then. These people want to change geology as well. There really isn't an "evolution" class, there is biology. Without evolution, biology is no longer a functional class either. Without sex education, reproductive systems of lifeforms can't be talked about as well. These christians want science, in general, taken out of public schools, whether they know it or not.

What I want to know is, what exactly all these Christian Home Schoolers are going to do for work when they graduate? Manual labor? Professional Preachers? Teachers for other Christian Schools, perpetuating the cycle?
They're certainly not going to be very competant in medicine, science, engineering, or any other industry that serves to actually save lives and drive the economy forward. But then I guess they have no idea that they're just dooming themselves to misery.

Not themselves. Just their children. But realistically, you're supposed to love the savior onna stick more than your family, so the fact your children will lead hard lives only shows you care.

Well, since currently a bunch of them are interns at the White House, I'd say they can go into politics.

In the terms of the leading IDiots, they wish to replace science with "theistic science." Funny how they like to keep that word, as in "Creation Science."
