From their kindergarten page:
"This will begin on September 2. It will show mothers the basics of teaching phonics. It will be video-based, with instructions for the mothers on how to teach every aspect of basic phonics to their child."
It's interesting that they said "mothers" instead of "parents" in an attempt to be all PC.

Seems like it could work out pretty well. I know by the time I was in HS I just wanted to get home and read about stuff that actually mattered to me + work on my business ideas. I spent my entire HS career stoned and bored, and graduated with a 3.5 GPA without ever putting any effort into it. I regret it, and wish school had been more challenging, because it destroyed my work ethic and it took a lot of time and effort to rebuild it.
Getting students in the habit of teaching themselves instills the desire to self-lead and self-motivate, crucial elements of an entrepreneur. It also helps them build a work ethic at an early age - something our joke of a public school system won't do for most people.
Also, this is relevant: Khan Academy
It seems like a pretty good middle-ground to homeschooling and unschooling. I like the self-teaching aspect big time. Self directed/internally motivated learning is the best. Not, "you must learn this now whether you like it or not", that we see in a public school curriculum.

'"When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime," he writes. "The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death." Likewise with blasphemy, dealt with summarily in Leviticus 24:16: "And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him.."
"Why stoning?" asks North. "There are many reasons. First, the implements of execution are available to everyone at virtually no cost." Thrift and ubiquity aside, "executions are community projects--not with spectators who watch a professional executioner do `his' duty, but rather with actual participants."'
