    If we stopped thinking celebrities opinions have value for no other reason then their fame society would be at least acting more intelligently.

    He's 15, he's NOT the Karate Kid, he is only famous because of who his parents are and, apparently, he's an idiot.

    His parents need to take away his cell phone and internet access. That will make him more intelligent.

    Waittttttt....the entitled kid of some overly paid actor tells people to drop out of school? Great guess they need more maids and grounds keepers.

    I hope his father steps up and reprimands his child for making such a stupid remark and public makes a statement. Ugh the influence these people have scares me to death.

    I'm sure he'll be happy to live in a civilized society with no doctors, scientists, engineers, architects, economists and so on.

    Clearly he needs to pay more attention to things like grammar if he wants to convince the world that he would be smarter if he drops out of school?!

    Apparently Will and Jada Smith treat them like adults and have this free-thinking parenting philosophy. It works fine if your children are inheriting a fortune and don't ever have to go looking for a job. This "Special Snowflake" way of parenting is not good for the majority of children.

    Just shows he's a normal kid. All kids think that at some point. I woke my 5 year old to get ready for school. His response "ugh, again?! I just went yesterday!" Shhhh... I think the same thing when I get up for work :)

    A friend of mine argued that the public school system is brainwashing children to think a certain way and act a certain way, and that is why she hopes to home school when she has children. I argued that unless you are going to let children run rampant in your house, you will be "brainwashing" them to think and act a certain way also. There is no absolute free-thinking way to to teach a child, and children thrive with proper guidance.

    It's Will Smith's kid, and nobody should care what he tweets, but I guarantee kids his age do. I think that's why it's in the news. Nobody likes a bad influence on their kids.

    THIS I totally agree with! Just because they are famous whats makes them intelligent?
