What if it doesn't work?

It will. In the early 1800's children learned with just the  Bible and a few good books.  What's nice about the human race is this....If a child wants to be a doctor....he will be a doctor.  If a child wants to be a lawyer....he'll be a lawyer.  Most of us follow our dreams and seldom do we let anyone stand in our way.  Not Mom or Dad or the government. Our kids will be no different. Believe in them.
