Michael Jackson’s kids enter private school

By Alexandra Heilbron on August 27, 2010 | 5 Comments


Michael Jackson’s two eldest children — Prince Michael I, 13, and 12-year-old Paris — have been enrolled at The Buckley School in the San Fernando Valley.  They attended their first classes on Wednesday at the prestigious school, where tuition is upwards of $30,000 a year per student. This is the first time the children have gone to school — they were previously home-schooled. Family sources told TMZ that Prince had been asking to go to school for months because he wanted to have a “social experience.” Paris was apparently reluctant at first, but changed her mind. Michael’s youngest son Prince Michael II, known as Blanket, will continue to be educated at home because his grandmother Katherine, who is the children’s guardian, reportedly believes he is too young to “venture out” into the world.

    Good for them going to school.They don’t want to turn into their father and not have a real life.

    There is nothing normal about a school that costs $30,000 .Nothing will ever be normal for these kids.

    That’s normal for some kids. My cousins go to private school and they’re normal, they’re actually totally cool. They’re just lucky to go to a nice school where they’re treated as if they’re human beings.

    These lovely children need to get out a little more. Going to a private school will be so good for them. I would send my children to a private school too if I could afford it.
