Jaden Smith: 'School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth'

Jaden Smith: 'School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth'

With an established acting career already under his belt and a budding music career underway, Jaden Smith appears to have a clear path set out for his foreseeable future.

The 15-year-old “After Earth” star took to his Twitter account recently to voice his opinions around attending school including that society would be “much more intelligent” if the world dropped out of school.

While Smith’s opinion may better suit his young Hollywood lifestyle, earlier this year it was revealed that the actor’s sister, Willow, decided to put her actor and music plans on hold in an effort to enjoy her childhood. During a February speaking engagement at Philadelphia’s Temple University, Will Smith admitted that his 12-year-old daughter had a disinterest in show business.

"Willow was supposed to be doing 'Annie,' we got Jay-Z to do the movie, got the studio to come in and Willow had such a difficult time on tour with 'Whip my Hair' and she said, 'You know Daddy, I don't think so,'" he revealed.

"I said, 'Baby, hold up!' I said, 'No, no, no, listen; you'll be in New York with all of your friends and Beyoncé will be there. You will be singing and dancing,' and she looked at me and said, 'Daddy, I have a better idea, how about I just be 12.'"
