Coding bootcamps and training people for specific skills is something quite different from general education for children.

That is true :)

I was just illustrating an example of alternative education that works. As you said none are working.

One for children: altschool is doing very well. Khan academy is also a hit.

Among other things, getting into a coding bootcamp tends to be both a selective and a self-selecting process. Many of the people who go into coding bootcamps would do acceptably in conventional educational settings too. School education is a bit different.
