Jaden Smith Accompanies Hunger Games Star To Prom, Wears A Dress

But wait ... how can Jaden Smith go to prom when he doesn't actually attend school? And not only does he not attend school, but earlier this year he slammed the educational system in an interview with the New York Times. Not to be mean, but we kinda think he shouldn't be allowed to attend prom if he's ripping apart the idea of going to class in the first place!
Over the weekend Jaden attended prom with Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg, who Instagrammed pics from the event. "Here's to high school," she wrote in one shot. In another she added, "To all my loves: Thanks for a great night." There's NO mention of the fact that Jaden is wearing a dress, but seeing as he's pulled this stunt before, we're not shocked. But way to bend the gender barriers!
Smith attended another prom a few weeks ago dressed as Batman, and he wore the same fingerless gloves pictured here. He may not be getting a formal education, but we certainly admire his artistry and flair. But then we think of what he said in that NYT piece and we just can't get behind supporting him.
"Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real," he said. "Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to…Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty. You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out."
So teenagery, indeed.
