A study of unschoolers — people who were allowed as children to learn on their own for some years — shows that they [ turned out quite well as adults ]( http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/09/how-do-unschoolers-turn-out/ ) . They had no trouble getting into college or being successful there. I suspect that one of the conditions for this to be successful was that the children did not feel the threat of poverty and were not surrounded by despair. It might not work for most children of the non-rich in the US today.
