Will Smith On Homeschooling Their Children

Posted in Homeschool

 

Will Smith says he and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, homeschool their kids because “traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests — not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.”

In the December issue of Reader’s Digest, Smith, 38, says, “Jada and I homeschool our children because the date of the Boston Tea Party does not matter.”

The “Hitch” star also says he can learn anything he wants to, so long as the instructions are in a book. “Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class,” says Smith.

That's really cool. Thanks for sharing that information. Too bad he wasn't on the Dr. Phil show.

I have 8 children, and I've homeschool all of them. They are absolutely exceptional children because they are free to learn. Stress is harmful and the traditional way of education today is stressful to the children.
