If you're truncating their educational path, isn't that a bit self absorbed not to provide the children with the option of attending university?

One does need to be terribly careful when discussing this issue with natural learning families, as it is true that a very small minority of the parents are very anti or hesitant to conform to social norms and trust establishments. That said, in my experience when said kids reach the older teen years they usually have a strong sense of 'self' and a pretty good idea about where they see their own place in the world. Many do opt to take access courses in order to go to uni or start learning a trade and are not phased about leaving the safety of their parents to do so. After years of following their own interests with self-directed learning, they are very used to taking responsibility for their own education and interacting with people in the 'real world' outside of a classroom, which means these teens are usually extremely motivated with a good work ethic when it comes to persuing their own career paths and jumping through the relevent hoops or finding an alternative path to reach their end goal.
