From IMDB:
Smith's $1 Million Investment In California School

Hollywood superstar Will Smith is investing more than $1 million in a new school near his California home. The I Am Legend star has paid $889,000 to lease the Indian Hills High School in Calabasas, after failing to find a suitable institute for his two young children, Jaden, nine and Willow, seven. The actor and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have, until now, been home schooling the pair. A spokesperson for Smith says of the school - renamed the New Village Academy of Calabasas: "Will is leasing the campus for three years, plus he'll cover all costs such as utilities. The academy will be run privately, and will include pre-kindergarten through grade six."

I find it extremely hard to believe that schools are so bad in the US that someone with shed loads of money couldn't find a good private school to send his kids to.

 

[BiPolar Betty]

I'd buy my kids (if I were to ever have any) their own school if it meant them getting a better and safer education lol..

 

[BiPolar Betty]

why not just home school them?

 

[MMMMatilde]

[Peter Parka]

why not just home school them?

Home schooling make kids socially retarded.

It's not too hard to believe because most schools in the US ARE SHIT....

If it were anyone other than Will Smith I'd laugh my ass off. But I actually like Will Smith.

David was home schooled till he was 16-ish.. He's not to bad in social situations, he's just a bit shy sometimes..

 

[Peter Parka]

No offence, I was home schooled till I was 14, it made life hard for me when I went back to school, personally.

 

[MMMMatilde]

That's fair enough, I guess different kids take it different ways..

David is extremely smart and has more confidence then a lot of people I know..

I love my boyfriend hehe

 

[DavyBoy]

I love you too Tildy thanks.

Peter, I guess you have a point, kind of... home-schooling does tend to socially handicap its 'victims', but it has also had a lot of positives for me personally. Obviously years 11/12 were a difficult learning kerb at times, but I got through them alright.

I reckon home-schooling is very much a viable option, parents just need to ensure that their kids are getting a lot of social activity at the same time, and actually have the potential to have friends... I know that would have made my teenage years a lot easier.

I only went to public school for 2, the rest was Catholic and home schooling. The 2 years in public school was a nightmare that if I ever have kids, will not subject them to.
