KS went to private school in woodland hill it look public to me. Teachers there weren’t so bad I was a former student there all we did a lot was field trips. People there were mean and snobby. The school she went to was pinecrest. She should balme her parents for not putting internet in her education.

Her parents also fancy themselves “intellectuals” Kristen always refers to her mom as a “writer” and how she would love to write as well.

They think they are above it all but they are “Hollywood” (her dad worked for Ryan Seacrest!)

She was bullied at her elementary school too and her parents pulled her out.

I think she needed a lot of character building and to develope a thick skin which she didn’t. I know it’s tough for parents…when do you pull your kid out of school and when is it okay to let them keep going into the same school day after day when they are getting teased or bully. However, with this comments I think they may have done her a disservice.

If anyone neededd to be in school consistently to be socialized and also grow intellectually (not just think she is an intellectual because her parents see her as an extension of themselves…chip on your shoulder much?) she needed that constructive challenges and daily routine more than anyone.

I agree with a lot of the balanced responses on here. Most teachers are wonderfull and misunderstood, even under the best of cirmcumstances they struggle and some teachers are not so great. But it’s up to parents to deal with that. Not just pull your kids out or not find alternatives and teach them to solely blame the teachers.

I read this differently. Many teachers in public school and some private teach to the center and what goes on in school as in activities are all that really matter. Those young people that venture into the public to act, or perform in some manner always wind up being tutored. Gymnasts included. Why? Is Kristen the only one that has had this happen no! She is one of many. IT handy caps the kids in life because they have not had enough time to be a KID.

@Recessionista, I know you were kidding, but I was thinking the same thing. When I was 9 I missed half a year of school due to illness. I was given no catch up work because my parents never would have thought to ask for any (my family doesn’t value education). At the end of the year I had to sit a series of tests to see if I could advance to the next year and I passed with flying colours. If she was getting behind and failing at that age she’s not naturally bright.

@LisaB: If you don’t like ‘bitchy’ comments, don’t come to Celeb*tchy.

KS said ALL her teachers failed her. ALL of her teachers..? That seems likely.

The reality here, Kristen is either too stupid too finish school or too lazy. And I say BOTH could be posible.
When she was a kid it was her parents fault, now is HER fault, one can finish school whenever we want, you just need not to be lazy. She has money, so she can make time for herself. But don’t go and blame it on the teachers, I mean, yes of course there are some shitty teachers, we all have had them, but not EVERYONE is like that, second it’s your parents fault, because kids who act have private teachers… are you going to say you didn’t have the money for that? *sigh* I’m disgusted with this woman, over and over… The worst part is that one day when they confront her about this she’s going to say some lame ass apology and everyone is going to be satisified… I’m just waiting, she once said the “rape comment” now this, one of these days she’s going to say something REALLY offensive.

Finally, teachers do NOT need to do all the job for you, you are NOT special. Teachers have so many students, do you think that they are going to put all their attention on the “star child”, because poor Kristen she had it soo hard I bet, must be sooooo hard to be a lazy ass with money. Please…

And if she values so much eduaction why isn’t she doing something for herself right now? Oh, right she’s busy “acting” (blinking/stuttering/biting her lip)… Yea, lazy people have LOTS of excuses.

Wow! What a bunch of judgmental, jealous B!CTHE$ post on this site! None of you have any idea what went down here and I’m sure every one of you has experienced a lazy teacher at least once in your life. While most are diligent and exceedingly patient, Kristen’s situation was a very unique and difficult one. She and her family tried the regular school thing for awhile, because they were fairly normal people until quite recently, but it didn’t work, so they got Kristen tutors, just like they should have. Kristen is smart and values education and intelligence. Neither she nor her parents deserve the wretched remarks in these postings. She wanted to try acting and they supported her. Tend to your own shortcomings instead of trashing people you know nothing about.

@hairball, thanks for some interesting points. Never said teaching is easy or that managing on a budget is easy. The teachers I know, who truly love to teach, gladly trade their time off in Summers and holidays for the challenge of the classroom, and the crap salary. It’s not an easy job, but they knew that when they entered the field. They are special people. They get a buzz from teaching well and they love the kids and they would never speak about them the way some ‘teachers’ on this thread have, no matter what their frustrations are, and we all have them.

@circe, you sound like a great teacher, thank you for that! I don’t think she was talking about missing three months though, at that age, it likely would have been a few days. She only had bit parts till she was a little older.

I agree though, if it was longer than a couple of weeks, of course she should have gotten a tutor, even as a third grader.

Kristen Stewart has referred to herself as an “autodidact” in the past. She claims her mental stature is 4″ taller than her physical stature. So my question is, with her intelligence, why would she even need “packets” to keep up in the first place? I am being facetious, of course.

Really, I have to keep going back to this unexcused absence thing. That’s a big deal. I hang out on kristens imdb board alot, I am pretty obsessed with the girl and tbh, fantasize about her a lot. But I can’t defend her attitude here. If you are absent from school and it is for “work”, it is not am excused absence and teachers ae not required to cater to you or give you special treatment by doing tests/classwirk outside of the classroom. The teacher can’t realistically assess you if you are not there and you simply turn in worksheets, that may or may not even be completed by the student. Some may even be prohibited by district policy to accept work from a student with am unexcused absence.
