Default Alternative education

Just read this item

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4808906.stm

We have been considering the possibility of home educating DD for some
time. It seems that this school is following the spirit of HE.
My only reservation is that by not following the standard curriculum
and exam process, that the children's options will be limited. The
education system (and potential employer) is geared towards grading and
assessing in terms of exam results.
I really do want to HE, but I can't help feeling that it will
ultimately limit the choices available to DD.
Any opinions?
