Not even close, you sound like Libertarian-adjacent technologists who have been believing your own hype / some other equivilent metaphor.
Technology has a role to play in education that is as-yet unrealised and while I cannot speak for all of them, I know the system in place in the UK is behind the curve.
The solution to this isn't to pull your kids out and use them as the cornerstone of an individualised experiment but to fight for better funding of the educational system itself.
I hope this does not have any negative consequences for the kids who are the recipients of this trial.
