See the look of joy on his face? We're totally starting to buy his argument that school is for suckers!

Jaden Smith and his friends (and bodyguards) were snapped leaving a shopping center in Calabasas on Wednesday afternoon, and this was just one day after the 16-year-old's absolutely idiotic New York Times interview made the rounds online.

When Jaden isn't tweeting deep thoughts about life (highlights this month include "Never Mind Its Christmas Eve Homeless People Need To Eat" and "You Taught Me How To Play The Piano But Have Never Heard Me"), he told the publication he's reading ancient texts and working hard on creating new music.

"Honestly, we’re just trying to make music that we think is cool," Jaden said. "We don’t think a lot of the music out there is that cool. So we make our own music." While he doesn't actually go to school, Jaden insisted that his approach to learning is the way to go.

"School is not authentic because it ends," he continued. "It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to … Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty. You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out."

Well, if he had spent a bit more time in a formal learning environment, we think he might understand the importance of graduating from high school, going to college, learning how to prioritize assignments and interacting with other individuals. But who needs to do any of that when your parents are worth over $200 million and don't seem to care what you do?
