Nov 21 2006Will Smith thinks teachers are useless

will-smith-italy.jpg

Will Smith says he and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith are homeschooling their children because he doesn't believe in teachers and feels the most valuable things he learned in life he didn't get from school. He tells Reader's Digest:

"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."

I love Will Smith and all, but I can guarantee you there's no way he could actually fly a space shuttle after just reading a book. Okay fine, he could get in the cockpit and be in the space shuttle as it was traveling through the air, but I don't think crashing it into the side of a mountain or straight into New York city should technically count as "flying a space shuttle." If it does, then he wouldn't even need the book. Or arms.

STFU fresh "prince"

Home school is a great idea. But usually the parent actually is smart. If you think that being able to READ means you are qualified to fly a space shuttle, you may be a few spare ribs short of a BBQ...

Then again, we can all agree that money-bags McSmith ain't home schooling these kids himself. He has people he pays for that. What a douche.

Does that mean affirmative action can officially die now!

Thanks dude you are the Fresh prince of foul air!

I can learn that Will Smith is an idiot just from listening to him talk.

http://crabbieshollywood.blogspot.com

considering he gave up an academic scholarship to MIT to pursue music, is fluent in spanish, and an avid chess player, i don't think his kids are going to be stunted by this.

i'm sure more parents would home school if they were rich enough.

Homeschooling is great and all but comeon...Boston Tea Party? That's important. Me and my stuffed animals sit around the house all day drinking tea. Then we have an orgy.

...I mean, Will iz teh dum!

http://www.edquarters.blogspot.com

I don't want to be in poor taste here, but to be to fair, it's not like trained astronauts haven't crashed the shuttle.

But really, public schools cater to the lowest common denominator. If a kid has any intelligence at all, it's best to get them into an institution where they can learn at an advanced pace about things they're actually interested in.

He also got a 1600 on his SATs.

And went from a sit-com guy to major movie star, while continuing to get people to buy his horrendous rap albums. I'm not sure which is more impressive.

Will Smith isn't looking too "Fresh" in that picture!

Way to stand up for America's teachers' Will. Good job. Dumbass.

Gotta go people. I'm on my way to Borders to buy "Neurosurgery for Dummies" so I can do brain surgery.

his head is looking ashy. i don't know what that's about. he must be greying because black people keep kegs of lotion around the house to avoid this very moment.

The last thing this dude needs to be doing is telling youth to take education as some sort of hobby.
Say what you will about public education, but I can personally testify that it'll get you as far as you are willing to let it take you.

Some people don't even have that.

the yoko of bel air has him believing he is a spokesman for all things unentertaining. stick to comedy and making the old lady happy, will............

How does Jada put up with that shit?

Being able to operate a space shuttle just by reading about it? Ha, I think Corey Lidle is proof that you can't fly just because you read how to.

#11. And I guess people like you keep kegs of lubricant hanging around so that you'll be prepared for an ass invasion? Am I right?


Dumbass.

He looks so fucken old... and his ears need tacks to hold them backs...and I pray to God someone buys him a Flying a Space Shuttle for Dummies book and actually puts him on a space shuttle so that he may dissapear forever. I hate you with all my guts Will Smith...I hope you are reading this.

I'm Will Smith. I don't even know why I'm bothering to school my kids at all. I think I might just let them run around the neighbourhood, chasing stray cats and eating their own snot. *picks nose and eats it*

Did you know that Will Smith actually turned down a scholarship to MIT in order to become a rapper?

what a shocker, another know-it-all actor/rapper... did jazzy jeff read the same books will smith read? aparently not.

Ugh. Obviously I should read comments before posting.

#14....it's easy when you're married to a multimillionaire. you can put up with most anything!!! she has plenty of money to pamper the blues away shopping, going to spas, or going on vacations.

hell, let her start to slipping on her game and i just might have to take dumbo away from her.

on a side note I'll bet my left testice his next movie bombs.

Jada Pinkett is a scientologist.... Need we say more?

Boston Tea Party? I bet those little fuckers know what year L.Ron got his first hummer...

"I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle..."

The balls on this guy!

Hitch II - Rehitching the night away...

I agree with him, half the shit you learn in school you forget, or have no use for in the "real world."

uh, #7... public school?

will smith's kids : public school :: will smith : space shuttle cockpit

#24
what? jada a scientologist? doesn't she know what happens to black people in cults? they end up drinking the Grape Flavor Aid.

#16

speaking of which i knew it was a matter of time before the secret got out, with your dad scratching on my door like a cat in heat every week. that keg of lube is for pounding his manhole every wednesday. what can i say? it's called hump day for a reason.


your poon must be crying a red river right now cause you are coming off like a bleeding cunt. love ya, though.

Holy mackeral, Amos! Feets don't fail me now!
Yessuh, I can fly any ol' rocket ship.

Whoops, sorry. I thought that this was the Michael Richards fan club page.

@8...1600 really?. That's pretty strong.

SJTLQ was homeschooled. Someone should warn Will and Jada that their kids will grow up to be stark-raving fucking nutjobs and live in a rusty trailer in the woods of Maine if they pursue this homeschool nonsense.

he's so confident in his spaceship-flying abilities because he learned it in Scientology for Spouses 101, so he'll be able to visit Jada while she's hanging with Lord Xenu in far off galaxies

As intelligent as he is, we know he is not sitting in the living room teaching these kids himself. I agree with #2, he's just hired a team of teachers to do that for him.

and how's this for a #1 lesson. JUST DON'T SPEND THE WHOLE $100 MILLION ESTATE THAT I LEAVE YOU IN YOUR LIFETIME. There, that didn't take long.

lol, so Will Smith is a moron after all.

Tom & Katie's wedding really wasn't a wedding at all...it was a Scientology brainwashing session. Will Smith is the first one to come away from that carwreck and make stupid comments, next it will be J. Lo, then Jenny McCarthy then Brooke Shields. Brainwashing I tell you!

Home schooled kids:
-"And on the third day, God created
the Remington bolt-action rifle"
-"so that Man could fight the dinosaurs."
-"And the homosexuals."

(mean girls... the only Lohan movie I ever saw. I swear *blushing*)

Homeschooling might help in some areas, but for the most part it raises social retards. Kids need to interract with other kids of different backgrounds, not just adults with one viewpoint.

Isn't Will Smith like TC, you know, a fucking cock lover? I've heard for years the Jada's a carpet cleaner and that the marriage is a fucking swingathon. Fuck that:

WSLTC

#30 - HA! Just be prepared to have the exact same words you posted twisted around to say basically the same shit, followed by Go fuck you're deseased hore of a moM.

I side with Will on this one. The majority of the things I have learned was from reading on my own and from experience.

Granted, there are some great teachers out there, but more than half act like they don't want to be there. They just pass you through the system... Educate yourselves!

http://www.blackbeatpress.com

I could easily see jada being a carpet eater, ever see that video of her breakdancing with the guys, you'd swear she was a boy.

While I think there are many problems with home schooling, I also think that the public education system is in trouble.

Not only are there the generic problems of lack of funding and ridiculous testing that does nothing for children such as in the "no child left behind" program, but there is the fact that our children are not being taught what they really need to know to be successful in life.

Kids should be learning financial and technological skills to be able to not only make it in today's market place, but also to be able to manage their personal finances and have desired job skills.

We also need to stop acting like teaching science in school is an act of religious rebellion when religion should not be in our schools period.

We also need more hands on training through internships in high school as just reading a book and listening to a teacher does not teach you how to handle on the job situations.

There needs to be a revision of our education system, because what worked in the 50's - reading, writing and arithmetic are just not enough to survive anymore.

I agree with Will Smith in that schools are not teaching our children what they need to know. I use close to nothing that I learned in high school for my career now.

My Master's degree also held a lot of fluff in it. The best parts were the internships that afforded me actual experience. My Ph.D. was better, but by then I had endured a lot of years that offered very little to the job skills I needed later in life.

Beyond job skills, tell me why most kids out of high school do not know how the stock market works, how to invest their money, how to stay out of huge amounts of credit card debt and why many of them have no idea how to create realistic financial plans? These are basic skills and yet our schools continue to fail our kids by not teaching them.

@29 Ha ha, Grape Flavor Aid. Because they'd save the good stuff (i.e., Kool-Aid) for the white folks.

WOW..CAN'T YOU PEOPLE DO ANYTHING ELSE BUT TALK SHIT

I'm pretty sure Will learned how to fly all things celestial in MIB. Hollywood teaches you all kinds of things, Tom Cruise can fly F-18s and do amazing things with swords and Ralph Machio is a martial arts expert and guitar virtuoso.

I think some of the comments of Michael Richards would explain some of this.

Fucking SATs man, that was a nightmare I thought I had to pass only once in my miserable life. Little did I know, that after 4years of drunken debauchery, that I stil had to pass the fuckin' LSATs.

will smith has his head in the smug cloud. easy to say all that shit when you are an overpaid "actor." shut up celebs and stop telling us how to live when you don't live in the real world. eat a bag...

#32 - JRZ - Ahhh, yes... Sarah Jean. Good times, good times.

#44 - Lovebug... bend over and grab your ankles, you likely just ordered up a good reaming with your post. And no, we can't do anything else but talk shit. Thanks for asking. Buh-bye.

actually, I think Will learned how to fly rocket ships in Independence Day.

Alien ones, no less.

oh richport,

i heard a rumor.....i hope it's true.
we're going to the chapel and we're going to get married. but maybe it was "we're going to the motel and you're going to bang me madly." both sound simply divine.

call me :)

Maybe it was because they were acutally only sending there kids to school 1 or 2 days a week and spending the rest at home with mom or dad or a nanny?

@44 lovebug, yes we can but WHY?

Congrats Nipsy, you are officially trolled. How the fuck does ?/critic/marshy/asshole/kidfucker write so many comments so fast? I am awed by its idiocy. Good thing it's just us doing nothing here at work...

rich, currently there's some douche over on one of the michael richards threads, i think the earlier one, insinuating that I'm an airhead. Ahhh.....Trolls.....can't live with them........can't hunt them down and chop them into tiny pieces and feed them to dogs to get rid of them forever.

#56

you totally called me out. i'm suppose to be writing a paper on Rostow's modernization theory but this is way more fun. i'll try to focus. it's due at 6. sigh :(

keep those suckers in check.

that last message was for richport.

but yeah, jrzmommy, there is a bridge somewhere that misses its troll. perhaps they will be reuinted.

Homeschooling is ridiculous. Our public school system is in trouble, although his children would probably attend private school, and having experienced both, there is a huge difference. Anyway, he looks really fucking old.

I failed the school of life

At least now we all know who will pilot the scientology mothership.

#39 - Yes!! I know first hand! I used to deliver for a bakery and once saw them sneaking out of a
house in Los Feliz in the early hours of the morning.......I need not mention that the house has a reputation. SWINGERS!!!! eewww! eeeww! eeeewww! I've been trying hard to repress those memories, thanks StuperFish!

why is that everytime a story posted that happens to involve a person who is "non-white" ie: dumbass...there are complete fucktards who take the thread to another level by posting slurs that sound as if they've been spewed from the ass of an aged cow? i think its time for you retards to grow the fuck up. you take up the majority of the percentage living on welfare, you smell horribly bad, you think you have the upperhand when you've actually stolen everything that you "think" you own....and you make excuses. 

Buy a bar of soap and shove it in your ass....maybe then you'll realize how much shit is backed up in your pathetic little bodies.

I heard they have an open marriage.

My criminal procedure professor had this "wisdom," I guess, to impart to us (mo'fucka lived to be 90 and died in our classroom while giving a lecture, he was fucking at least three female students, who all got A's btw). Aaaaanyway, he would say: "fuck around, cheat, steal, and do whatever you think you can get away with, LIFE will give you your final grade"

10 people went to his funeral

my friend met Will at some mall in Hawaii and had nothing but good things to say about him. he was a genuine character who didn't blow her off and act like some big shot. jada cuntlet-smith: a COLD ass bitch!

Ooh, lovebug has changed her name. Maybe you should frequent all the other posts. Then maybe you'd see that we are equal opportunity offenders.

Hmmmm . . . how very short-sighted of him. There are multiple modes and modalities of teaching and having a teacher stand in the front of the classroom and lecture is simply one of them. Is it better or worse than another style of teaching? That only depends upon the learner.

Clearly, that sort of learning environment did not work well for Mr. Smith. However, it is a mode that has been around for quite a long time, oh say Aristotle, and has been beneficial for who knows how many people.

I dont blame him. Some of the more intelligent people I know were homeschooled. It sucks though, since they're totally socially inept.

#37- beautifully said. and Mean Girls is funny shit but it's because Tina Fey wrote it, and she can't be un-funny.

#63 - Juuust post under your own name danielle... it makes it much more interesting and I can even... snoooooooooooooooooooore

Guess old Jada better call it an "open marriage" since everyone knows the brothas can't keep it in their pants anyway. All of them have "friends" if you know what I'm sayin. And I think you do.

#63, If we're uneducated will you promise to come to our homes & teacxxh us the wisdom of your ways? Like how to make the typeface BOLD. very clever and as brilliant as a warm Guiness.

in west philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground was where he spent most of his daze......

63, that rant seems like it was spewed out of the hull of a tuna boat lost at sea.

Most homeschoolers are well socialized and do do better, as a whole, than their public school counterparts.

However, I doubt very seriously that Jada and Will homeschool their children. They hire a teacher (gasp) to do it for them.

76--have you met SJTLQ?

If I called him "dumb nigger" right now, this thread would be at 300 posts by nightfall.

So, here's what I've been mulling over today, as I pack and bake and take care of my children......IS there ANY word that one could use to insult a white person that would be half as inflammatory as 'nigger'? I've come up with the usuals:

1.honky
2.cracka
3.blue-eyed devil
4.whitey?

Are any white people offended by any of these? I know none of them have the violent history of 'nigger', but what does? Hitler? David Duke? George W. Bush? (that would piss me off a little).

Anyway, he's hilarious for thinking he could home-school his kids.

I think maybe will smith and Michael Richards should get together and figure this all out.

"I love Will Smith and all"--- you are OFFICIALLY dead to me! there is nobody on this planet cheesier and lamer than will smith. nobody. and apparently, hes one stupid mother fucker as well.

whoa, apparently I had sexx on the mind in my previous post. #63, I do not need you to teach me about the sex.

And I hope for Jada's sake that they have an open marriage. God, those ears. Good for control during cunnilingus, but what about the other 23.75 hours of the day?

78-

He could sit in the shuttle cockpit and go blub-blub-blub-blub-blub with his big lips and pretend it's the engine.

School (public or private) offers a hell of a lot beyond just the basic curriculum. Kids need school to learn all sorts of non-academic skills.

Oh, and I had no idea Will Smith was so smart. MIT? Impressive. Good for him.

85- not true. It is completely unnatural to be stuck in a classroom with 20 - 30 people your own age. Mine is articulate, goes to church, does his school work, acts up every so often, probably does things online that I wouldn't like, gets along with others, his age or not, plays lacrosse, football, and basketball. The difference is mine is a quick learner and the local schools do not want to move him ahead because of social implications.

We don't shelter him, we are brutally honest about issues such as sex, homosexuality, pornography, but he also is aware of where we stand on said issues. I don't see what he is missing out on by not being in school. Socialization? please...not a problem here!

Not a HS advocate for everyone as not all parents can effectively HS, regardless of their good intentions.

#86...I taught public school. I had plenty of homeschooled kids enter my class since many parents who HS can't handle it once their kids are in middle school. Every single HS child I got was academically a star.

But...they ALL had major issues making friends and following the standards of a classroom. They often lacked respect for teachers since they never had to show much for their parents.

I know this isn't the way all HS families work. I know many make an effort to get their children in clubs and sports so that they can have normal social activities.

Sadly, many are like this because there are many HSing people who do it to shelter their kids from the outside world. One of my neighbors is like that. She won't even let her children go to the park for fear of what they might pick up.

I am generalizing, I know. HSing is wonderful if done right.

He probably thinks the Sun is a giant banana because it's yellow. He's gonna fly off in the shuttle lookin for some mo' bananas.

P.S. The Sun isn't a basketball

Hmm, 1st thing I thought of was the fact he was at Dodgy Toms wedding. And reading these comments, I see his wife is a scientologist so it's all starting to make sense.

Does anyone know his personal stance on Scientology. I smell another closet case here.

Bitter Old Bastards

#63, you're a dumbfuck but it has nothing to do with the color of your skin.

#76 "Most homeschoolers are well socialized and do do better". I'm not nearly as concerned with how well they do-do, as I am with how well they can communicate which btw, speaks volumes about their ability to socialize.

Also, # 86, I was not referring just to socialization in my first post. I was also referring to programs like art, music, tech ed, PE, and foreign language class. I've yet to meet a HS family that covers all of those areas as well as public/private school does. If you do, then kudos to you.

"The date of the Boston Tea Party does not matter..."

That I agree with, but I'm just disappointed because I was hoping he'd have said that he learned everything he knows on "the streets". Damn.

#42: I agree with you pretty much there. Homeschooling and public schooling both have problems. I think I read somewhere that high school as an educational structure was thought up for men BY men in the late 1890s. It's seriously outmoded and needs an overhaul.

However, I feel homeschooling is a poor substitute. Education should broaden one's horizons, not limit them, and that what I think homeschooling does, as I feel strongly that it is more about the parents' need to control what the child is learning and less about the quality of education they receive. The religious-based mentality of "I want you to learn thus and so, because it's what I believe personally," rather than "here's a set of ideas; make up your own mind about it." I've learned more reading on my own than I did in school, so Smith's partly right on that score. But then again, some people might need more hands-on instruction and guidance.

Every time I see kids in the store with their mother in the middle of a day when school is not out, I assume they're homeschooled and want to levitate. Not that all homeschool moms do this, but some absolutely do.

In any case, who cares what Will has to say about anything? Shut up and make an entertaining movie. That's all we need out of you fucking actors.

yeah....Smith is going to be a GREAT teacher for his kids: "I know how to learn anything I want to learn.". It's more like "I can learn anything I want." any 1/2 way competent teacher would tell you not to add the 2nd "learn" in the sentence.

i read an intriguing book by a gal named Sarah from Maine on her expereinces being homeschooled, it was called, I Was My Own Class President. Fascinating.

pfft, I love the fresh prince, number 1 -.-.

lol....I can see some people reading this and being like, "Yeeeeehaaaaaw, you tell 'em will smith! Yer doings is good!"

is it....can it be?? is that the triumphant return of land-man? some of these people in here really need a land beating. get to it.

Memo to everyone in Hollywood:

Just SHUT YOUR FUCKING CAKEHOLES!

Is this going to be a daily thing where someone makes an ass of themself?

#86- Amen, sistah! Mine are ornery, mouthy, get along with everybody they meet, keep at their schoolwork until they get it right- and do all the normal sports/extra curricular/artistic stuff we can fit in. Homeschool, done right, is GREAT.

Wow- 100th!!! Yeah!!

Yes Will, formal education is useless...great outlook!

Wait! if they're homeschooling their children, then aren't Will and Jada the teachers, but teachers are useless, but...aaarrrgh! Now I'm all confused.

me no need teacher...i reed all about the wourld in my book, but allwayz stuck at hom with mum and daad (sigh).

Man, Will Smith looks old.

You also don't learn things being homeschooled such as dropping acid in 6th period just in time for it to kick in for an hour and a half long humanities class about 18th century art & music. or how to properly roll a joint. or how to not get caught smoking cigarettes & drinking french liqueur in the attic of your school.

god bless prep school!

I knew that they would be recruiting new fucking members at Tom's wedding. I think he has his eye on Jada cuz zhe looks sorta manly. I do feel like hopefully (?) Will resists their advances. Yikes!!

P.S. Was Sarah Jean really homeschooled?! sheeesh I forgot how hilarious that girl is. I tell ya, reading her website is an absolute blast.

Home-schooling is for those wack-a-doodles that love their children. For the rest of us normal parents, public school is an 8 hour daily mini-vacation to get away from the little fuckers.

72 keep it on the down low!!

I wonder what Uncle Phil would think about all this.

i would totally hump will smith. something about perfect 1600 on your SAT screams sex appeal.

Ahem...here we go again jrz and rich.


411- Wasn't me. It seems like you've created a solid fan base and they just like to shower you with comments. I have no use for spewing words at you two losers.

I thought we went over this last week? I definantly remember telling jrz that bitch fights are for....well, bitches. If you want to be categorized as a bitch...feel free to do so. Count me out. Seriously, keep your name out of your mouth. I beg of you :)

If every person who posts a comment arguing why "race" is this or "this is that" is considered to be me...then damn, there's a lot of danielle's out there in the internet world. I feel proud.

But, it wasn't me. Sorry to dissapoint you.

P.S. keep my name out of your mouth. simple as that.

*definitely*

He's right.

bwahaha ladyjane. kudos for having the balls to say it.

#67..I didn't change my name nor did I post #63 comment

I'm sure any of the parents here can agree that they go to public school for all the aspects they get from that. Then, they come home, and you pick up where public school fails and you fill in all of the blanks. You can't rely solely one the public school system, I agree. That's why you can't blame their failures on the school system either. As a parent, there is some personal responsibility.

1600 on the SAT?
Full scholarship to MIT?

Nope...http://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=31133

Turns out Mr. Smith had "pretty high scores" and because his mommy worked at MIT in admissions and that school was very low on Negroes he says, "I probably could have gotten in."

The date of the Boston Tea Party doesn't matter? December 16, 1773, is the day that kicked off the American Revolution. This was one of the most significant historic events that enabled the US to become a FREE country. I can't possibly imagine what is important to him. Hmmm...Daddy won a GRAMMY in 1988! In 2001 Daddy was nominated for an Oscar!! Yea, the really important things... SIGH...

#117

check your link again. actually, his mother DIDN'T work at MIT. she had a friend who did. besides, what's wrong with the hook up? if you got it, you use it.

anyway, i'm sure he'll nurse those wounds with his many millions of dollars. he's living much better than the average MIT graduate anyway.

don't be such a hater.

#111-danielle misspells 'definitely'.
#112-BoognishRising corrects the mistake.

Hmmmph. Did danielle accidentally login under wrong identity or is Boognish a super-helpful poster? You be the judge.

Someone needs to tell Will Smith that he wasn't *really* flying that spaceship in "Independence Day."

Geez danielle cut me some slack. I just assume anyone who writes idiotic obnoxious bullshit regarding race relations is you, be it bold-faced or capitalized. Can you blame me? I mean history usually proves me right in cases like this, especially involving you. My bad...

Looks like a job for Michael Richards...

...

.......
....

...but yeah, Richards was right. Make him a Nobel Laureate, and the Ambassador on Race Relations.

@120
Nope, I'm not a Danielle clone. I was just pointing out that the troll has major spelling problems. I have posted many times before under this name. Ok?

Celebrities need spin doctors. Fact. They should not say anything without a review board's approval.

This is just Will Smith's curveball approach to saying he doesn't want his madison avenue children hanging around poor kids. He's an asshole, but I understand. If I were a millionaire I wouldn't want my kids going to public school either. I probably wouldn't homeschool them, but private school would certainly be an option.

1600 isn't his SAT score, it's his un-employment check. Fuck the Will-enium, it's tha Land-enium. WS can nurse on the L-A-N-D C-O-C-K. Open yo mouf, son! Here come' sum banana cream! Take tha' basketball out ya ass!

um, i think he got accepted into MIT, and last time I checked, they don't accept stupid people

he just decided to go into the entertainment business, which was a smart move, because look- now we're talking about him

Public school is part of the problem. I applaud anyone who keeps their kids out of those shitholes.

But, as usual, only the rich have the time to do this properly.

So, I agree with Will, even though his music and acting sucks and he'd only a bid deal because of his stupid sitcom and lousy records.

@128 careful with that logic suzy-Q (it doesn't appear to be your strong suit), you just made Paris Hilton a fucking genius.

112- Thanks. Typing on a laptop is difficult! The buttons are so small. My bad.


120- Hmmm. I don't recall addressing you.

BTW- Logging in time and time again under different names is something that someone with no LIFE would do. Sounds just like you. Hmmmm. Think about that, dickshit.

BTW- I don't remember asking you for an english lesson Mr. T :]

Thanks.

Luv ya :)

99% of public schools suck.

public schools slow you down and hold you back.

You really are a troll aren't you? You are quite a pathetic little shit, aren't you? No one likes you here, yet you continue to post. Unbelievable! Suck a dick, you stupid illiterate bitch.

Btw... first you thank me, then you insult me. Personality disorder much? Suck a dick.

Well, good for them I say. Public schools, (especially public highschools) dont truly cater to their student's needs in the long run, which is why my sisters go to a private school,and I myself am homeschooled. And it's not like they're doing all the teaching, being homeschooled is basically being taken from the (sorry)public school system, since AMerican public schools (in a nutshell)suck ass. Now they're kids can take chemistry whenever they're ready, and not when they've reached the 10th grade,(which was when I took chem for the first time)

Food for thought for those flaming the Smiths. I think the Smiths made a damned good decision. #133 said it reeeeally well. lol

#134- No one likes me? Booooooo Hooooo. Can you prove that? Would you be willing to go to "internet blog-site court" to prove that? While you're there, would you be able to prove how uneducated and fugly you are? Would you be able to prove how your mother's a whore and how you're a middle-aged needledick prick with six kids on welfare? Would you?


No, I didn't think so.

Shove a stick up your ass and mind your business you pathetic twat. Kay?

BTW---I thanked your ass before I read your other post when you called me a troll, you dumbass.

You should've kept that little shit stained comment to yourself.

Idiot.

Jesus... NO ONE LIKES YOU HERE, you fucking idiot!!! Look at the history for fuck's sake! Where's your fan club? It ain't here, stupid. WAKE UP! Never mind. You are a stupid troll. Go ahead and have the "last word" if it makes your pathetic ass feel any better. Like I give a fuck.

Do morons believe everything that is told to them?

How about you actually spend 30seconds on Google to check out such claims (which considering that these stars pay millions to publicist and PR firms could be planted) before you repeat them:

RD: Is it true that at one point you were planning to go to MIT?
Smith: My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores and they needed black kids, so I probably could have gotten in. But I had no intention of going to college.


I was black and PROBABLY could have gotten in.
Yup, that's just like me. I could have been accepted at Oxford but decided not to go. My neighbour could have been QB at Michigan which would have been impressive since he's 5'2, 145lbs but hey, why would he lie?

His mom worked for the school board and he is doing like all his Scieno wackjob friends and homeschooling his kids? Isnt that like having a dad who is world class chef and you end up eating a McCrap twice a day when you grow up?

The only thing more stupid is script kiddies who tell you they dont need to go to school because Bill Gates dropped out and did ok.

Oh bloody hell. First Tom Cruise thinks he's a specialist on psychiatrists, now Will Smith thinks he's an aerospace engineer. What the hell are they teaching them at Scientology? Because my Nana has similar dillusions, and she now lives in a home... where even the phone is padded.

Ummm, yeah. You do that for me. Look at the history...that goes ALL the way back to.....May. Please do dig into the archives and see who the REAL troll is. Take all night into the morning if you're really so sure of yourself. But, we all know you won't do that. So, let me just clear this all up bitch.


Troll= not me. Unless you'd like to prove me wrong and dig through the archives and see who started the fuss..I'd suggest you take an overdose of Listerine and die. Got it?


I don't need a last word. I can post on here all fucking day long if I feel the need to do so. Getting pathetic threats from people of your kind will NOT persuade me to do otherwise.

Go cry to your saggy titty mommy you little whore.

And yes, I COULD give a fuck :)

As a public school teacher and a licensed attorney who is struggling to pay off law school loans on a teacher's salary, I can, without any apprehension, say FUCK YOU WILL SMITH. He makes more in one hour as an ACTOR than I do in a year. So yeah, I guess that means he is much more capable of teaching his children than little ol' moi. Fucktard.
Reminds of the geniuses out there that watch Judge Judy every day and claim they know as much about the law as a lawyer. Yeah, that's why there is all that schooling and tests and licensing we have to go through to be teachers (and lawyers).
This common attitude is partially to blame for the shit state of our schools today. We're too stupid to teach your kids but God knows if your kid is a shitbag or a 'tard, it is our fault, not yours- the parents.
Xenu got to Will too. YAY.

retards, including you, mr. smith;

you can pick up a book and learn anything because someone TAUGHT you how to read.

and in my opinion, schooling shouldn't be public/private OR home. should be both. unfortunately, parents either abstain from involvement, or dictate the whole learning experience. COMPROMISE is a more valuable teaching method, as well as lesson.

Go, Will and Jada!

#143 has a point - I know many good parents who homeschool on top of sending their kids to school.

I can always tell when school has started because the neighborhood boys become much more aggressive and the neighborhood girls become much more mean and catty. Not to mention that both the girls and boys learn lots of bad language from the other kids. The younger they are, the more pronounced this is.

The parents really struggle to undo the damage -- in between the hours of homework the kids bring home in backpacks that are bigger than they are.

Personally, I'm enjoying my kids too much to mess things up by sending them to school. We're just too busy, and they're learning too much without it. I'd hate to interrupt their learning -- and their love of learning -- by sending them to an instutition all day long where their time is mostly wasted with busy work.

Frankly, what we're doing is easier than spending your time undoing the damage that most public schools do.

While I applaud the good teachers, their hands are tied by the administrators and the teachers' unions.

Just another hollywood liberal moron. I know more about flying than he does. He's wealthier than I am but I'm smarter than he is.

If this was 50 years ago he would be upside down with a fork up his...oh wait I think someone already used that joke this week. HES A SPACESHIP FLYING NI.....nevermind.

Will Smith doesn't said that he thinks teachers are useless, that has been taken out of context, guess superficial.com felt like they needed to spice things up to get some ratings and attention.
I am going to write that I am amazed and shocked, not by will smith's comments, but by the comments of the members in here.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves,
fact is will smith is richer, nicer, better, and smarter then any of you in here, and the only reason you guys complain or talk negative about will smith is because you all are jealous and/or ignorant, because you will never achieve what will smith has achieved. Coincidence that many of these people are coming from public schools and feel offended.Some people even say the N word against will smith, another teacher says the F-word. I hope no kid will be teached by you, is it so difficult to keep oneself under control ?Stop 10 seconds and take a deep look at yourself. You probably have no self-confidence and you think you'll get more confidence by judging will smith.
BRAVO.
You should respect other people's opinions,
not insult them and attack them, but guess that's not what they have taught you guys.
Read the entire article before you make judgements, and respect other people's opinions, because if you don't, there will come a day where you won't be respected.
Hate is a selfish act, and I'm sad to witness the amount of selfishness that is going on in here. You bash him for his music, for his acting, because he's achieved so much more then any of y'all would. That's sad.
I've met will smith and he's 1 of the nicest and smartest celebrities I've met. And I also agree with his article. I've went to public schools and I'm saddened to say that it was a waste of time. Public schools don't teach you what you need to know, they teach a lot of garbage that you'll never use, and you'll forget. Look at what Will Smith is saying in his article :

''RD: Have you ever thought about going back to college?
Smith: The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests -- not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life. Jada and I homeschool our children, because the date of the Boston Tea Party does not matter.

RD: But there are some basics in education that need to be taught.
Smith: Of course there are. Reading, writing and arithmetic, because those are the languages of our country.

RD: When you say you homeschool, do you mean you actually teach them?
Smith: No, we have hired teachers who teach what we feel is important. For example, Plato's Republic -- kids need to know that. Why is that not taught in first grade?

RD: You think kids in elementary school should read Plato's Republic?
Smith: Yeah. You cannot be an American without reading it and Aristotle's Politics. That is what the forefathers of this country read, and they used them to create what I believe is the finest system of government that has ever existed.''

I went to public schools and it did not help me as much as I would have hoped it would. I self-educated myself with books, and personal experience. When you want to learn something and you believe in it and work hard for it, trust me you can learn.

I'm just ashamed at the amount of garbage messages that have been posted, I would have loved to have a quality discussion.
But I guess it was too much to asked.

PS: It's not will smith that looks like an idiot, it's the people in here who attack his opinion and don't respect it and having a tough time to make a quality post. And people compare will smith to kramer ? Are you guys nuts ? What in the world has kramer to do with will smith. It's just a disgrace to mention them in the same sentence.Any intelligent man would agree to an extend with will smith's comments, because believe it or not they are true, just because you haven't experienced it doesn't make it non-worthy or false.
I'm sorry that will smith is smarter then most of you, and richer, ow also nicer, better, bigger, stronger, smarter etc. etc. this list is endless.

When you are reading this, your hate probably will rise a lot against me, I'm sorry if it does, I'm sorry you can't control yourself and you can't make a quality post without name-calling or complaining.
Try to educate yourself, read books,
don't count on public schools only, go out and self-educate yourself, maybe you won't hate so much the next time, since your range of knowledge will be extended.

#148 "I hope no kid will be teached by you"

Signed, Jaden.

#148 - I'm having a hard time remembering where you said you were educated in that overlong piece of verbal diarrhea, but I guess wherever it was they forgot to teach you a sense of humour.

This website is called theSUPERFICIAL.com, and people come here to read unimportant shit about famous people and then make fun of them for it.

Sorry if that was beyond the reaches of your understanding.

Andrea Yates was a homeschooler. just sayin'.

#138 - Yea look back at the May archives, then proceed to the Beyonce thread in August. You'll see why she has a rectum the size of donut hole. We ran a train on her like the fucking Northeast corridor. But I must say, she is likely not a troll. Appearances can be deceiving, so I don't blame you for the confusion. We enjoy occassionally fucking with her like a cat does a mouse in a sock. Just trying to stiffen her spine a bit.

Shit, it's not January... my bad danielle. Your forgiveness and best holiday wishes are requested. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. I want you well rested when we address each other next.

@148- just curious--- how is it you KNOW that Will Smith is smarter than I am? Or even nicer, for that matter?
You know us both intimately?
Mom?? Is that you?
Nooo! It is Jesus!
Hall-ee-looooo-yah!!!!!!

fucktard.

Look for DanYELL's new memoir in December '06--Thanxgivin' in da Hood.

A, #136 Taylor, apparently your homeschooling has failed you already. Yo mamma forgot to teach you the difference between their, they're and there. Maybe you need to go over that chapter again hon. Off you go.

Leave him and his penis alone you fucking retards.

*yawns. sorry Im cranky today. I'm having my period

It seems like anytime a white person (especially a white man) does or says something crazy in the media, the following is said on this site:
moron
asshole
retard
dumb ass
The comments are harsh, but directly reflect his behavior.
BUT, A woman or person of color (especially black) does or says
something crazy, the following is said:
slut
cunt
bitch
whore
skank
nigger
monkey
reference to their "black ass"
comments about them being put in their place
comments lowering them from the rest of the society because of the color of their skin.

I guarantee if Tom Cruise made the comment, nothing would have been said about his race or the color of his skin. Look, I know what he said was f'ed up and stupid. He has a right to say what he feels, regardless of how dumb it sounds, and not be called a "negro" or other racially demeaning comments because of it. Those of you posting the racist/sexist comments are a shining example of prejudice and the fact that it's still alive and well.
BTW, home schooling does raise social retards, I know a few myself.

Will Smith for president!

#148, are you borderline retarded? "Will Smith doesn't said" that's how you want to start off your little rant, are you sure?

Anyone know exactly what Will Smith has done to contribute to society? Nothing?? that's what i thought.

And BFD that he turned down MIT. Who says he wouldn't have flunked out? He would have to have graduated in order to be smart. To me, turning that down to make some shitty rap albums shows me he's a real smarty! Please. He hangs out with TC, therefore he's as dumb as it gets.

#148 Typhoon.

Perhaps you were looking for Oprah.com. Take a look around you, at the other comments on the other archives. This is THE SUPERFICIAL. I can't imagine what you were expecting.

I wonder if Scientologists celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas? Just wondering. Do they celebrate Xenu's birth in some way?? What a messed up religion!!

#157 Please!! Simmer down, k? Haven't you ever read the commentary on Tom Cruise that is on here? If I were Cruise, I would rather be called A white asshole or something other than what he is usually called:

A Crazy, Xenu-worshipping, self-promoting,space ship believing Faggot.

#148 I have to say it...

(crickets)

(deafening silence)

that's stupid. you can say you have no faith in the public education system, but to put down teachers like that so generally is plain stupid.

what a douche.

This from the guy who once told Barbara Walters in all sincerity that he thought AIDS was created in a lab and spread on purpose by white people to kill black people.

Nope, don't need school for that kind of logic.

@ 47 -- The MCATs are no joke as well, and I've only taken the practice tests.

I agree we've got serious problems with our public school system; we learn about things that really don't matter in everyday life. But to a certain extent, the basic knowledge you gain makes you a well rounded person who is able to fully function in society. Yes, you may not need to know the exact date or year of the Boston Tea Party, but knowing that it did occur and its significance is a basic fact that should be known.

And at an elementary level education, all subjects should be taught. There's no way a fourth grader knows what he wants to do with his or her entire life. Basic school education creates options.

The problem is that Americans are lazy and don't care enough to learn things they don't see immediately benefiting them.

*slinks off*

I like basketball.

I guess he wants his kids to grow up to be idiotic, socially awkward weirdos.
And by the way, to all the black people who think everything's all about race: Stop playing the racial card! It's so overplayed and ridiculous. YOU'RE the ones who are perpetuating all this racial shit. LET IT GO! Times have changed! You have rights now, you have equality, you have everything white people do.
My ancestors were Irish and were horribly discriminated when they settled in America, but do you see me STILL complaining about that shit? NO, because it's OVER.
Lets all move on and realize that we're all equal and it's not about black or white.

#169- Don't you think you're being just a weeeee bit idealistic? Racial issues are not that simple. And ending slavery on paper does not end on all fronts. Just sayin'...

Man! Will is looking OLD!!!

5. He speaks only English, unless you count ebonics as more than a retarded dialect, and turning down a scholarship to MIT, no matter how undeserved, only serves to support the assertion that Will Smith is a fucking moron.

6. BULLSHIT. Remove your head from the "Fresh Prince's" rectum, and you will find it easier to form rational thoughts based in reality. Or not, ...

In other news, BJLTC ;^o

171. The only "weeeee bit" on you is your shriveled, smaegma-enveloped clitoris.

Good day, sir.

BJLTC ;^o

Look at the monkey, ears sticking straight out...how smart can he be?

Will Smith is probably one chromosome away from fighting an uncontrollable urge to pick fleas off of Jada's scalp.

Oh yeah, BJLTC ;^o

#173- No BigJism (are you such a loser and groupie that you couldn't even find your own name?), the weeee bit was actually referring to the fact that your dick is smaller than a baby's pinkie. So shut your penis-smelling mouth and go get a semblance of a life, okay? And no, trolling The Superficial and bothering people who weren't even talking to you doesn't count...

Will Smith did not turn down an academic scholarship to MIT. Here's what he says about MIT in the Reader's Digest interview:

Smith: "My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores and they needed black kids, so I probably could have gotten in. But I had no intention of going to college."

It's a long way from this to "he turned down a scholarship to MIT".

Home schooled children are better educated than the masses on a percentage bases, but what price do they pay? Do they lack in social skills and what is the effect on the children?

what a freakin idiot....his kids are gonna grow up ugly and dumb

{{{{ OK LISTEN TO ME }}}} (BACKING UP WILL)
See.. This is a GOOD once and a while that I look at a miss-informed blog, beholden to a miss-judging blog first person dictator... What I mean by this is that most of you people are wrong. This is because lots of you do not listen to the origional script. Will Smiths Exact Words: " I would get a book on space flight, and find someone that knows about spaceflight, not a teacher, and learn how to fly a rocket, and would be able to fly...". The FIRST PERSON that commented on this said: "Will Smith wouldnt be able to learn how to fly a rocket JUST-WITH-A-BOOK. ". This blogger is a common idiot. He did not listen to what Will Smith said. The words "I would get a BOOK, AND!!!!.. A PERSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO FLY A ROCKET", Went OUT THE WINDOW! with this blogger. Now realize this... And realize that you too are subject to this moronic blog. I am not because I LISTEN.

Although I do agree with Will's statement for the most part, some kids just learn better in the school environment, just like some kids do better in homeschooling. Personally, I believe homeschooling can allow more room for creativity and motivation skills to grow.
