Jaden Smith Criticized the Education System, Claiming That Dropping Out Would Create a ‘More Intelligent Society’

As a dedicated observer of the Smith family’s dynamic, I can’t help but admire Jaden’s unapologetic approach to life and his willingness to challenge the status quo. Having grown up under the spotlight, it would have been easy for him to conform to societal norms, but instead, he has chosen to carve his own path.


It’s well-known that both Will Smith and his wife Jada are straightforward with their opinions in interviews. This characteristic seems to have been passed down to their children, particularly their son Jaden. He’s been open and candid during interviews or on social media ever since he was a teenager.

Way back in 2013, at just 15 years old, I, an ardent admirer, found myself resonating deeply with Jaden’s views on schools. He openly shared his dislike for the educational institution on X (previously known as Twitter), casting a critical eye on the education system of that time, as reported by US Weekly.

On their account on the mentioned platform, the performer and actor posted, “When people used to ask me ‘What do you want to become when you grow up?’, I would respond that it’s a silly question. The real inquiry should be ‘Who are you now?’

The lead singer of Icon pointed out that every rule worldwide was devised by someone who might not be as intelligent as you. He inspired everyone to establish their own set of guidelines instead.

As per the report, The Karate Kid actor also stated, “Schools are used to mold young minds. Education is a form of rebellion. If newborn babies could talk, they would be the most intelligent creatures in the universe.

Jaden implied that if fewer individuals opted out of education, “Our Society Would Be Significantly Smarter.” He subsequently motivated people to disengage from their mobile devices and pursue actions aligned with their true desires instead.

From an early stage in life, Jaden has found himself under the spotlight. Consequently, this exposure has led to him facing close scrutiny from the public eye. Numerous individuals have voiced their doubts about his decisions, be it regarding his fashion style, beliefs, or anything else.

In a chat with Complex, I found myself pondering over the importance of embracing my uniqueness. There were moments where I yearned for acceptance as a ‘typical’ individual, only to realize that this pursuit left me feeling misunderstood. Eventually, I came to terms with the fact that being unconventional suits me better.
