This blog will talk about why the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Smith has no time for school. In an interview with Willow Smith, she talks about how she is behind in her math because she doesn’t have time to focus on it. She stated that she is usually on tour or hanging out with her father all of the time. With all of the money that her parents have, you would think that they would put education first. As you can see, this is mostly her parent fault because they are to busy focusing on their children becoming stars. I have to agree with a lot that was written in is article. During my elementary day’s, I have seen a lot of my friends parent’s get locked up or find because their kids wouldn’t go to school. However, in this case that wouldn’t happen because these folks are rich and famous. With anything you do, you need to know how to read, write, and count. With willow Smith trying to pursue a music career, I think that it’s best that she keeps her education going. Her parent won’t be by her side always, and what if one day their money happens to disappear (all gone). Then they would wish that they had a back up plain that included furthering their education.
Today we come to fine that there are a lot of young people working in the entertainment industry. I believe that it’s mostly in the film and music industry. Most child stars benefit because of their parents being well known stars. These young people have to grow up fast and they miss out on some of the best things in like. I believe in people fulfilling their dreams, however I also believe in getting an education. A lot of young stars are working constantly and have no time for school. As a parent I don’t think that I would allow my child to be a child star. If I had the opportunity cost of being rich due to my child being a child star or just being middle class, then I would take middle class. I rather not have my child miss out on life. When I say that, I am referring to going to school with other kids, going to college, going to the promo, playing in the dirty, or maybe even playing sports in school. I would want my child to maybe make that decision after she graduates from college. I want her to be able to say that she has had the all around experience. I that once you become a parent, you show always but education first.

This is a very interesting and controversial subject. You bring up an excellent point, and that is, "opportunity cost". Education, especially in the younger years is crucial because once the brain has matured, it becomes impossible to open up an important mindset that could have blossomed if the child had the right education at the right time. Celebrities should take their children's education very, very seriously. Not only will they be more successful and business savvy in the future, but they need to serve as role models for other children that are fans. Kids think "If I had famous kids, I wouldn't have to go to school", but instead they should be thinking, "Look how good she does in school, look how good she is at math, I want to learn everything that she is learning in school".
