I'm not sure exactly what degree you mean by separatism. Most of the examples I know of did have a religious component as a factor, but they weren't cults or extremists. They still taught science, technology, etc and associated with people of different backgrounds. I'm sure there are bad homeschools, just as there are bad public schools.
