Will Smith Doesn’t Trust The Public School System

November 22, 2006 by The Master Chief

Will Smith, along with his wife, Jada Pinket Smith, refuses to send his two children to school to get a public education, claiming the system limits their education. Smith insists he didn’t learn his most valuable lessons in school and claims there are no limits to what he can teach Jaden, eight; Willo, six; and his 14-year-old son Trey, from his marriage to Sheree Smith.

He says, “The date of the Boston Tea Party does not matter. I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.”

In my opinion, public schooling is the best education out there. You’re put around people of all different races, religions, opinions, etc., and it prepares you for the real world. When you’re home-schooled, you only see what happens in your own home, and when you’re thrust into the real world when you come of age, you’re completely lost. You should think 2wice about only home-schooling your kids, Will.

    I would just like to give a different point of view on this subject.

    I myself, along with my younger brother, was homeschooled. I agree that maybe homeschooling doesn’t work for everyone but for me I had no problems adapting to the ‘real world.’ I interacted with other homeschoolers, I had core group class sessions and so on. Just because your homeschooled doesn’t mean you sit in the house ALL day. I think as a result of being homeschooled I’m able to interact with adults on a different, more mature, level.

    I have moved on and am in college now..and I had no problems adapting, and I didn’t feel compelety lost. My brother, also has gone on to persue his education in the public school system and he made honor roll and varisty football.

    I Truely Believe homeschooling can be benificial, it just depends on what type of person you are. Me and my brother are complete opposites…but yet we both benifited from homeschooling. And if it works for Will and his family Big ups to them.

    but now that, that has been said. LOVE THE SITE. lol
