WILL AND JADA OPT TO HOMESCHOOL THEIR CHILDREN

Hollywood couple WILL and JADA PINKETT SMITH have decided to homeschool their children, because they're unimpressed with America's educational system.

The ALI co-stars have six-year-old son JADEN, daughter WILLOW, four, TREY, 12, Will's son from his first marriage and Will's nephew KYLE, 15, in their care. And all children but Trey are currently homeschooled.

Jada tells ESSENCE magazine, "(They are homeschooled) for flexibility, so they can stay with us when we travel, and also because the school system in this country - public and private is designed for the industrial age.

"We're in a technological age. We don't want our kids to memorise. We want them to learn."

WHAT Jada wants, Jada gets

WHAT Jada wants, Jada gets--from life, from the movie industry, from her children, and from Will.

The petite powerhouse is no pushover. She has a pragmatic if not downright pugnacious approach to the Hollywood game.

"I'm a do-me--you-do-you person," she says. "And if you want to stand in my way, fine, we're going to figure out how this is going to go down. Because I'm a have-what-I-want-one-way-or-another woman." She says she has always been like that. "I've definitely been a get-up-and-go-get-it-now person."

And she has gotten it.
