You guys miss the point. The kids and parents who are following this model are not the sort who have trouble passing standardized tests. Allowing a gifted, creative kid to chart their own curriculum has gone on inside of schools for years. That's what schools do with smart kids: unscheduled time, self-managed projects, independent study.
Agreed that a dumb kid with dumb parents will end up watching cartoons all day, but reading the article it's pretty clear that's not the case with these families.
