Teen actor Jaden Smith is coming under fire for a recent Twitter rant bashing education.
Smith, 15, who starred in “The Karate Kid” and “After Earth”, tweeted back on September 9th, “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.”
A few days later he tweeted, “All The Rules In This World Were Made By Someone No Smarter Than You. So Make Your Own.”
Those tweets were followed by these:

Everybody Get Off Your Phones And Go Do What You Actually Wanna Do

Of course, it’s easy for a millionaire teen to squash the idea of education. The website, therichest.com, recently put Smith’s net worth upwards of $8 million.
Jaden is the son of Hollywood power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith.
