Willow Smith Will Be a Superstar Whether You Like it Or Not

I am on the fence with Willow. I like kind of like her style, but it seems to be too much at times. It works for her because of who her parents are and their profession. I am a teacher and I just couldn’t see a Willow sitting in my second grade class. I am all for letting children express themselves but this is a bit much. If her parents were not celebs (huge celebs at that) I don’t think she would be that “out there”. Like if her mama and daddy was, say ummm, Grant Hill and Tamia. I mean they are celebs but not huge international celebs that yt people across the world are familiar with. They don’t have ths $$ Will and Jada have and probably don’t follow the same cirlces, trends,styles, and things of that such that insanely famous and rich mf-ers follow.

about Disney
I think that the girls want to break from being a Disney star so they go so far to do something that is Anti-Disney. Has anyone seen the Cheetah Girl Keely’s video? It is called “The Sex was Spectacular”. The lyrics are awful and the video is too. The chorus says something along the lines of I don’t remember his name but I remember being face down and azz up. Hayle nawl! Disney is the devil!

Umm, I know Willow is not in second grade, I was saying that this type of look is not common in everday ordinary schools regardless of grade. I wouldn’t teach her differently. From my experience the children who are a little more out of the box than everyone else are the ones who are more fun to teach and they are more creative. My point was that Willow is waaaaay above and beyond the realm of what non-celeb children look like. Now be for real. The look is crazy. If it wasn’t it wouldn’t be a topic twice a week. I think her environment influences her style. I know that every child is not gonna be a cookie cutter run of the mill standard looking child, but this is a bit much. And if a child came in my classroom looking like Willow and her mama’s name wasn’t Jada and her daddy’s name wasn’t Will, no I wouldn’t judge her. I would judge her parents.

Although looks shouldn’t disrupt learning, please understand it does. Not so much on the teacher’s end because we know we will get a crayon box full of students, but for the students it does disrupt learning. That is why uniform policies have been issued in public schools and dress codes are so strict. Now I don’t know what make ya’ll thank (yes thank) a child with her head shaved ain’t gone cause some disruption in a regular classroom. Not a hollywood classroom, a regular one. The teacher should ignore it but the kids won’t. Especially elementary to middle school age. I think ya’ll are looking at it from a mature adult’s point of view not a child, espeically a child who hasn’t been exposed to it. Eventually it make wear off and won’t be a big deal, but it will cause some disruption at first. Look how we act when we get new pics of Willow.

At OTB, Good! I enjoy the convo as well and I don’t comment much because I don’t want to offend anyone by what I type since you can only perceive how you think I am expressing myself versus, how I am really expressing myself. E-beef is not the business! LOL!

I live in Augusta, Ga and it is not a small city but not as big as Atlanta. It is Georgia so it is a bit conservative but not too much. I teach little ones. Up to fifth grade. Blue and burgundy tracks would throw me off. I mean our oldest students are like 11 or 12. Colored hair would be something that would disrupt the class for at least the first 20 minutes or so!

At Free. Okay I misread your comment. I think we will just agree to disagree on this one,cause I am down with creativity to an extent with a certain age. I can’t get down with the colored hair/shaved head at such a young age. I will say this, if your child was in my class and she/he behaved, did their work, was not disrespectful, and did what was required, I wouldn’t care about how he/she looked. I’m trying to get 100% passing on the CRCT.
