You are right. We do not the details about it. The Judaic culture never used the scriptures to replace conventional education. You are right again the bible does not teach the sun revolves around the earth. This notion and many other erroneous ones arose in the dark ages along with a myriad of other superstitions and poor theological references. In Columbus' day people of science and sea faring men stil thought the earth was flat and that you could fall off the edge of it. Yet in Isaiah 40:22 and in Job 26:7 We see the earth as being a circle (Chugh) in hebrew which means "sphere". And Job states it is suspended by nothing. Pretty accurate I would say. If I were to have home schooled kids I would have to make clear distinctions between what is faith based and what is not. Kids obviously are not going to learn Algebra from the bible. But they certainly can learn about morals in society that are perfectly applicable.
