Michael Jackson's Kids to Be Homeschooled

Katherine Jackson had her mind set on sending Michael Jackson kids to a swanky private school in LA, but luckily she's changed her mind.

Michael Jr., Paris, and Prince were all going to be enrolled at the Buckley School, where Tito's three kids attended, but according to TMZ, the family decided it would be better for them to continue to be homeschooled.

The family decided that they should keep everything as "normal" as possible for the kids, which includes rehiring all the same tutors that they've been learning from all along.

The only difference is that the kids now live at the Jackson family home in Encino, not Michael's place in Holmby Hills.

According to TMZ, "the family is building a school yard, complete with a volleyball court, so the kids can enjoy P.E. time. The kids will also go on field trips and have a designated 'lunch hour' in between classes."

We're pretty sure Katherine had a big say in this decision. Her and Janet seem to be the only ones who care about the kids. The other Jackson’s are all concerned about their reality show and how much more press they can milk from Michael's death.

Myholly787 you make me sick to my stomach! What is up with your ugly dirty mouth ? Bad childhood ? or just a poor upbringing by parents unable to give you love and nurtering? You seem angy at the attention Michaels kids are getting from goodhearted people....is that because you yourself have lacked attention of that kind throughout your life? Cuz thats what I'm hearing when I hear your trashtalk and badmouthing comments on innocent children and a dead father. And about all the poor children from the 3 world....the hungry...and the poor....the ones with no parents living in sheds or on the streets....all those children that Michael Jackson did so much for and donated millions of Dollars to help....what are YOU doing for them??? I'm not crying for them cuz that don't make their pain go away...in stead I choose to help financially by having sponsor children in Africa and buy then food, clothes and toys...make sure they get an education and medical attention. What do you do for those kids ? What do you do for anybody really....besides talking down to them ? ....I'm almost more sad for you than for Michaels kids...at least they were brought up with lots of love and care

You're sick calling MJ's kids testtube sperm brats. And Who Taught YOU to CRy for HIV, and hungry kids in Africa and India??? MICHAEL JACKSON did. So you learnt something from him afterall. NOW learn to forgive just like he did!! If you are a Christian that is!!

Awwww....QUIT your bleeding heart B.S. these kids are not royalty...just like everyone else. When Royalty can be allowed to attend private or even PUBLIC schools...then these kids can do the same. There are plenty of kids with traumatic experiences WAY worse then they have had....and NONE of the advantages. I will not be crying every night in my pillow for THEM! Cry for the kids in Africa with HIV. Cry for the kids in India with no food. Cry for the kids in Gaza full of hate and loathing! NOT for these brats!

They'd probably turn out like Hollywood brats if they went to that private school...anyway, I hope all is working out for them.

Myholly. You sound like a mean-spirited person. Katherine probably asked the kids what they wanted to do, and took that into consideration. After being home-schooled for 10-12 years regular school would be a big adjustment so soon after thier "Father's" death.

These poor kids probably wouldn't be safe in a school. At least this way they can learn without having body guards surround them.

There are all kind of people who are home schooling their kids so this is a decision for anyone. The Duggars with 18 kids and 1 on the way do it so what is the difference.

Im glad they are being homeschooled because it was what Michael wanted. But they should be able to see other kids if they want to. If not then this is greatt

Myholly - "normal" is set by whatever the children were used to, which was being home schooled. Many children ARE home schooled, not just children of the famous. Chances are, this decision was made with consultation of a Psychologist and/or request of the children. That last paragraph is really RUDE!

Normal would be attending a brick and mortar school...no cyber or home schooling! If Prince William and Prince Harry can do it...then the "testtube" sperm Jackson brats certainly should be able to do so! Keep them isolated and they will end up weird and wackco also...just like their Pretend Papa!

That's a wonderful idea. So much has been taken from these kids that they need to keep at least some of the people from their life before their dad's passing active in their lives. They're certainly precious angels, and that little Blanket especially melts my heart.
