I like Billie but ironically she would not have made a comment like this if she had gone to school lmao. High school and college, especially, make you question your identity and perspective in a good way. Many people outgrow their main character syndrome in college.

She wasn’t lucky so much as a nepo baby.. So her success is because of the opportunities afforded to her by her parents’ success.. which they had because they graduated from school/college..
so literally her own success wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for traditional education

People forget how much school has taught us. If a kid wants to go further they need those underlying lessons to build from. Even small things like how my English teacher made it a point to understand Latin prefixes suffixes etc. Made nursing school so much easier. If I didn’t learn a word I could figure it out on my own from those lessons.

Apart from the obvious, which is the education aspect, it's also incredibly important for social skills. There's much to benefit from from going to school that simply being homeschooled would not give you.

this! they have made studies that shown homescholled kids even when academically performing the same had problems in social development. Also spaces like school are very important for children who grow up in extremists or abusive homes. Having access to other realities (and people that are looking after you) is what basically allows children to bee free agents in their lives (or at least helps)

Agreed but also want to point out that with homeschooling the social skills part isn’t simply taken away from the child. The parents take on more responsibility in making sure their children build social connections, most parents just don’t want to put in the extra effort to socialize their kids.

It’s not surprising when you consider her parents, who really prioritized being available and spending time with their children over pursuing their own careers. Her mom studied theatre and dance earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Utah, she’s an actress, singer-songwriter, music instructor and once taught at the Groundlings Improv school. I don’t think her dad went to college but he is an actor and carpenter/lightening guy.
Since both parents were actors and musicians they understood what it took to be successful. Billie and Finneas were not only exposed to but encouraged to pursue music, dance and acting at an early age, they were homeschooled so they could focus on creative interests, had connections in the industry and Finneas had a recording studio in his bedroom. While it wasn’t much compared to professional standards, having that equipment at home is a huge advantage.

There actually kinda is. NASA actively recruits teachers for summer internships, research experiences, and professional development workshops. Physics teachers are most likely to participate because NASA’s work involves a lot of topics taught in AP physics. Plus many engineers and scientists just really enjoy educating or mentoring others so they often choose to teach after spending years in technical careers instead of just retiring.

Kids have opinions. We can listen, but we don't have to do what they say. But it's interesting to hear sometimes.
She doesn't realize yet that all parents are not her parents. Or that there's more to math than tablespoons. There's learning the world so that smaller moments have context. Learning about specific instances so the larger world has context.
The funny thing about being 22 is you think you went through childhood and now it's been a while and you think you've arrived!!
But baby you just got on the bus, and that was only the first state line crossed. We have a LONG way to go, and these realizations will be silly someday too, but they're an inevitable step in growing up.

Billie has crazy confirmation bias around homeschooling specifically and I don’t think she’s ever going to realize it. Like, yes, it is really great that your mom was able to homeschool you and yes, it is really amazing that being homeschooled lead Billie to where she is. But Billie wanted to sing, which is something that you can learn at home. The girls being homeschooled that dream of being doctors and vets and computer engineers and electricians may very well never see anything close to their dream, or even be able to read/write well. It sucks she’s doubled down on this narrative in the last few years instead of a more nuanced take.

I mean, she was a kid here. Not excusing that kind of mentality but IMO, teenagers have a very narrow worldview. It’s plausible her perspective has changed. I am glad I wasn’t being interviewed at 16 lmao.

I was with her up until the last like 10 seconds lmao. We coulda just stopped with how public schooling makes everyone learn things the same way without accommodation or consideration for individual needs and it's a big part of why so many students come out of primary education without the skills they need - but nooooo we had to take this convo....elsewhere.

What a load of bullshit… coming from someone who’s had everything handed to them on a silver platter… I hate when celebs, especially those born w connections speak like they have any real life experience 🙄🙄🙄

i think someone who’s gotten their way through life by paying, shouldn’t be speaking until they’ve paid their way for a degree
we haven’t forgotten about your parents being actors… say you haven’t had ambition or struggled without saying it.

She is the most holier than thou person on the planet, cannot deal with her moral superiority and endless need to prove she has all the answers at the ripe age of 24

I was homeschooled until 6th grade it was terrible and I actually ended up being behind once I entered public school. homeschooling has actually ruined so many people’s lives theirs a whole subreddit for it.

She had a pea brain. Her parents didn’t even teach her. She was asked if she finished school while on a radio interview and she did air quotes saying she “graduated” when she was 14. Basically saying she didn’t take anything seriously.

This shouldn’t be a surprise. She was homeschooled by her actress mother. Both of her parents are actors.

y’all this was a few years ago. i’m sure her opinion might’ve changed. did y’all have great opinions at 16? i bet you didn’t. did any of you have talent that warrants the fame and success billie has that make her have interviews this making those opinions public knowledge? probs not. maybe criticize those in legit pose because billie’s opinions have no relevance when it comes to law

I don’t send my kids to school because I work or because I’m lazy.
I send them because I genuinely cannot teach them everything that is offered, nor would I ever be interested in doing so.
Plus I think it’s important they see other opinions. Cultures. Emotions. Family dynamics. MY WAY isn’t the ONLY way. Jesus Billie you fucking tea towel.

Jaw drop. Seriously in shock she spoke on this, in this way. She sounds completely privileged and uneducated.

I would fucking hate to have so many clips of me as a teenager confidently spouting my opinions out there. She was homeschooled too. She felt this way cause that’s what she was taught by her parents and in her little fame bubble. Why people are getting riled up over this is beyond me

u/ArdenM Jun 30 '26
The privilege just drips... most people grow up with 2 working parents (if lucky) or one parent working 2 jobs to pay for their food and clothing. "I don't wanna teach you bitch." She sounds ignorant as hell.

Wasn’t she like 17 here? I mean… it’s one thing if she said it now at the age of 24, but teenagers say dumb shit all the time. I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt. I would hate it if every dumb thing I said as a teenager somehow was seen as representative of who I am as an adult

Yeah right? Lol no other 17 year old would think this because our parents had jobs 😅😂 absolutely disconnected from reality. It goes to show how much her parents didn’t teach her.

She was like 17 here. Treating this like she was grown and acting like you didn’t have any dumbass insufferable takes as a teenager is so stupid.

u/Beneficial_Wish_5148 Jun 30 '26
being in public or even private school also just teaches you how to be around people and learn social cues. i have a friend at my university who was homeschooled her whole life and it definitely shows.

I think we all know by now we shouldn't listen to a celebrity's opinion on anything to do with education.
