The Homeschooling Revolution



November 27, 2006

Reader's Digest: The Driven Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

He raps, he acts, he jokes, he produces, and he opines. Given Will Smith's ties to Hollyweirdsville, his unorthodox views on education and marriage are a revelation.

A sidebar about his upbringing in Philly: "My mother just could not stand improper English. If you ran out of the house screaming, 'Where y'all gonna be at?' she would say, "Hopefully y'all gonna be behind that preposition." My grandmother would say, 'A yawl is a boat, baby.' "

Will's kids are homeschooled in that way that the children of the very wealthy are homeschooled - by tutors.

But no reason to hold that - or his fondness for the L.A. Lakers - against him.
