Jaden Smith Hasn't Properly Learned the Rules of Using Capitalization in Sentences. Nevertheless, the After Earth star, 15 -- the son to Will and Jada, brother to Willow, and boyfriend to Kylie Jenner -- thinks school is very uncool. Last week, the budding singer and actor took to Twitter to rant, for some reason, about school, education, and the general rules of modern society.

"People Use To Ask Me What Do You Wanna Be When You Get Older And I Would Say What A Stupid Question The Real Question Is What Am I Right Now," the Karate Kid star began. He continued: "All The Rules In This World Were Made By Someone No Smarter Than You. So Make Your Own."

"School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth," he added. "Education Is Rebellion. If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth."

Finally, Smith -- a close pal of Justin Bieber -- declared: If Everybody In The World Dropped Out Of School We Would Have A Much More Intelligent Society . . . Everybody Get Off Your Phones And Go Do What You Actually Wanna Do."

Ironically, Will, 44, and wife Jada, 41, founded their own school, the New Village Leadership Academy, in Calabasas, Calif. back in 2008. With the Smiths donating millions of dollars into the private elementary institution -- which employed a wide range of untraditional educational methodologies -- the academy shut down last June.

The Smith family was most recently spotted en masse gawking inside the Barclays Center while Lady Gaga performed the bizarre opening number for the MTV Video Music Awards in late August. Will has frequently been outspoken about the parenting philosophy he shares with Jada.

"I think that, specifically in African American households, the idea coming out of slavery, there's a concept of your children being property and that was a major part that Jada and I realized with our kids," he told Haute Living magazine recently. "We respect our children the way we would respect any other person. Things like cleaning up their room. You would never tell a full-grown adult to clean their room, so we don't tell our kids to clean their rooms."

'nontraditional educational methodologies'? I wonder what their academy was actually doing. On to topic though, the kid is a moron to advocate that people should drop out.

Gee, a 15 year old kid says something stupid? I'm shocked! Anyway, I've heard plenty of kids spouting the exact same kind of bull$hit as this guy. It's just that nobody pays any attention to it because they're just dumbass kids who are only saying that $hit because they don't like going to school. Of course, someone like Jaden Smith probably has a publicist whose job it is to tell him not to say $hit like this, but this is a whole lot of nothing. But yeah, the Smith family have a reputation for being idiots.

I'm sure he IS a spoiled brat, but I've even heard poor underprivileged kids saying that kind of stuff. Why? Because they just don't like going to school, no other reason required.

Our education system is largely broken. The last thing we need is Jaden Smith and his pap to start spouting this nonsense. Hey Will and Jada, your school closed! Maybe you don't know enough about proper education?

What an idiot. On the other hand he is 15, I was also an idiot at that age. An inadequate amount of life experience leads to idiotic beliefs. My guess is that a child star such as Jaden (ugh don't you usually have to do something decent to get the title of star?) will have had even less real life experience at 15 simply because of who he is, and that experience would almost certainly be less relevant than a normal kid growing up without all the fame.

  He is right, you should just drop out and get an GED.  Its the same thing, all that time in those classes is literally time wasting.  I have never had an employer really care about high school, everyone sees it as a place full of idiots anyways.

While is true that a career in dope dealing and pimping does not requires a HS Diploma, the skills and connections obtained while attending to one of the finest inner city Highs are invaluable for the ones seeking a career in the field.

He has a point. School is a borked institution and you don't necessarily need it to be successful. Unfortunately it's necessary for a lot of jobs. And it sounds like he needs more education.

They do not mean the same thing at all. A GED certifies that you have a very basic amount of intelligence, at least enough to be a functioning adult. It is not at all the same thing as a high school diploma. A GED test doesn't even cover a lot of the ground you go over in 4 years of high school. And there are lots of employers out there who'll hire people with high school diplomas but won't give a second glance at you if they see "GED" on your application.

It's intelligence, not intelligents.

  Where is your evidence of this, I just googled it and there really isnt a lot of employers who really give a crap.  You wont land a career job as a high school student.  Btw I did go to High School and did go to college. Â
