Coming Soon: Plinko Academy

Filed under: Jada Pinkett Smith

wenn2185685jada.jpg

Thank Xenu!

Jada Plinko Smith's controversial school in Calabasas, the New Village Leadership Academy, is thriving!

The actress turned musician turned producer opened the doors to the experimental Scientology Academy last fall after more and more parents requested for their kids to join the home-schooling program Pinkett Smith had started for her two children!

"More and more parents were like, 'Can we come?' Then my house started to fill up. We had like 20 kids and I said, 'We might as well start a school,"' Jada said on the conception of the Academy.

Sure! Starting a school on your own accord is always a good idea!

60 children have enrolled at the Academy so far, and Jada is hoping to extend the experimental school to grades 9 through 12.

With both Pinkett Smith and her husband, Will Smith dabbling in Scientology, The New Village Leadership Academy was accused of abiding by the teachings of Tom Cruise L. Ron Hubbard!

Pinkett Smith adamantly denies this, saying the school abides by "'100 percent mastery,' encouraging students to retake exams until they score 100 percent."

We assume that means grades have been eliminated from the curriculum!

Would U send your children to Plinko's school???

  20. 20

    Re: FearItself – HAHAHA!!!!



  21. 21

    Suri for homecoming queen!



  22. 22

    Re: Kate27 – do you have anything better to do than bash perez? Why don't you maybe contribute something witty for a change?



  23. 23

    no i would not send kids to a cult school. thats all it is . A Cult. Just like Kabalah. they are no better than the group of loonies at Waco



  24. 24

    I wonder if this Scientology school forces the young 'uns to pass the hetero test? (Let's ask little Tommy, Johnny, Willie and Jadie!)

    Oh oh, looks like poor lil Perez Jr and Pucifer Jr will be held back… forever!



  25. 25

    Suprise, suprise Mario is bashing on another celeb that doesn't kiss his ass. I have never heard a bad word about Will or Jada except from you. On the contrary I've never heard anything but nice things said about them. Even from ordinary people that have actually met them.
    .
    Every parent has the right to have their children taught any way they see fit. If parents want to send their children to Jada's school then good on them. They must think it's the best for their children.

    Re: BBBoricua loves Angels & Demons… – wouldn't you like recess all day dear :)



  27. 27

    THE ONLY EDUCATING THIS BITCH IS GOOD AT IS TEACHING HER GAY HUBBY HOW TO TAKE A LARGER STRAP-ON SIZE!



  28. 28

    I wouldn`t send my kids there because I believe humans aren`t made to be perfect…it would be too much stress on the kids to have to take a test until they get 100%.



  29. 29

    Re: FearItself – HAHA! I wish it was Christmas Day every day!!! :)



  30. 30

    I live directly accross the street from the Scientology building in Hollywood, and let me tell you, they are feaking weirdos!! First of all, you will NEVER catch them smiling- I mean NEVER. They just walk around like robots back and forth, even at 1:00 am you will see them pulling weeds and working like zombies in the night. Also they have these strange rituals early in the morning where they wake the damn neighborhood up because they chant repeatedly and it gets louder and louder to the point where it sounds like the military. When we were kids, even the young brainwashed Scinetology kids our age would try to recruit us.

    Would I take my kid to a school that is influnced by Scientology?

    HELL NO.



  31. 31

    bitch, I read your blog, everything is possible



  32. 32

    Re: RedWingsFan – bitch get a life



  33. 33

    "Sure! Starting a school on your own accord is always a good idea!"

    Why not start your own school. People do it all the time. People also have the right to send their children to the school of their choice.

    And I could characterize all of us as looney for spending time reading this shitty website, not to mention taking the time to comment.

    AND I DO NOT CARE WHAT THESE CELEBRITIES DO ON THEIR TIME AS LONG AS THEY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE IN TAXES.

    THEY HAVE THEIR CHOSEN PRESIDENT.

    WHY DON'T THESE COMMRADES SHOW THE REST OF US HOW PAINLESS IT IS…GO AHEAD, BE FIRST, WRITE THE CHECK…I'M WAITING.



  34. 34

    Actually this mastery program sounds like something my school district tried when I was in school. It was called the foundations program. Basically you could retake tests and work at your own pace. Also the grading system was incredibly different. It failed horribly though.



  35. 35

    How did we ever survive before Will and her came along, they truly complete us all! ( sighs and stares glassy eyed at nothing)



  36. 36

    Re: salpicon – Since Fan ain't here to tell ya I will, EAT A DICK FUCKER!



  37. 37

    Having students retake test over and over until they score 100% is not doing them any favors. Why should they study and take school serious when it doesn't matter what grade you get, you can just redo it. This is not how real life works and this kids are in for a rude awaking when they get out their own.



  38. 38

    Is she still playing with her death metal band? haha!



  39. 39

    Re: BBBoricua loves Angels & Demons… – i'd love it too…. but my pocketbook wouldn't! :)



  40. 40

    As someone who went to a Scientology-based school, I can tell you that re-taking tests until you get a 100 is ABSOLUTELY the teachings of Scientology. Anything below an 85 meant you FAILED and you had to do your studies that you were being tested on all over again, from the beginning. For anyone in Jada's camp that says otherwise, is lying.

  41. MP says – reply to this


    41

    No freakin' way. Not to be mean, but they're not exactly the poster people for education in my mind.



  42. 42

    heck yes. better than the fail public school system and better funded



  43. 43

    hhhmmm pay thousands of $'s to be back doored to a cult? let me think, FUCK NO! All their "staff" are members of the cult. It's crraaazzzy that they are getting away w/ this bullshit. Even still, the shitty parents who really aren't already affiliated w/ the cult should do better research. Regardless, I am sure there are plenty of brainwashed cult members to keep them afloat, and enrollment high. They stick together.



  44. 44

    Re: salpicon – Thanks for the advice ,now do us all a favor and go kill yourself



  45. 45

    ARGH Scientologists are freaks



  46. 46

    No, I wouldn't but I also wouldn't send my kid to the Fundie schools either. I don't see why one's any worse than the other.



  47. 47

    Hell to the N-O!

  48. StayC says – reply to this


    48

    Hell no! I have researched scientology for religious study classes and visited centers in Los Angeles… they're all strange and you can't put your finger on it! These kids are being brainwashed just because their parents want their kids to be around famous people… FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN US! They just make money for stupid "talents" and are a lil' bit coo coo for cocoa puffs



  49. 49

    Hmmmmm…wonder if this "academy" is accredited as an educational institution by the state, or if it's just a big playdate for the kids of these rich bitches.



  50. 50

    Who is actually teaching the class? This academy could have the cream of the crop of teachers. Possibly less mean girls and clicks and who's wearing the best sneaks. I would consider this over public school any day. As long as there are no cult teachings.



  51. 51

    The parents who send their kids to this "school" are same fucking retards who don't get their kdis vaccinated. They put everyone else's kids in danger.
    Retards.



  52. 52

    These celeb kids and rich kids can attend because they won't need a REAL education because mommy and daddy will leave them their fortunes so they won't have to worry about getting a profession that requires a Harvard, Yale, Oxford, so forth, education.



  53. 53

    My children will go to Catholic school. It was good for me, my sister and my cousins. We grew up to be doctors, engineers, diplomats, performers and lawyers. Traditional education is just fine for intelligent children…I don´t know if the Smith´s children are different or special…don´t judge them…they might have specific needs and not everybody does well in strict private schools.



  54. 54

    ell, no… I've had a very brief dealing with the followers of L. Retard Hubbard, and his shizz is scaaarrry! It i snot a churcb, it is not even a cult…it is a trap. Robin, Dallas, Texas



  55. 55

    wonder how much it cost to send your kids to cult school??



  56. 56

    Sounds Good? I know if I were seeking a Good Education for a child I would seek out the super intelligent negro to do the job, they invented everything you know, just look at Detroit they are really very loving people? Just don't walk by one with anything of value ?



  57. 57

    As a graduate student who works very hard for my my grades, I find this ridiculous! Retaking tests until you score 100%????? Great preparation for the real world. But, then again, I don't think any of these people actually live in the real world, so it doesn't matter.



  58. 58

    I'm waiting for the mass Scientology mothership suicide. I know it's coming. When are they all moving to the compound?



  59. 59

    HELL NO!! First of all…if she started a school…Perezito maybe you should start your own too!!! I agree with RedWingsFans & JuneGordon!!! specially she should teach her kids to have a better attitude but who am I kidding…mom did not have any schooling on this…I don't even know how Will got with her…she is not feminine at all she looks very butch like…well Scientology pays $$$$
