Jack Osbourne plans to home school his daughter
The `Adrenalin Junkie` star and his new wife Lisa are concerned about the poor quality of education in Los Angeles and worry their five-month-old daughter Pearl will be bullied by other children when she is old enough to attend school so are opting not to enroll her into a traditional educational establishment.
Jack said: "The schools here in LA are terrible - we`re planning to home-school Pearl.
"To put a kid in a good private school is $35-40,000 a year. I`d rather hire a teacher who can travel with us."
Lisa added: "In LA, a lot of kids have Christian Louboutin shoes when they`re 13. It`s so ridiculous. I don`t want her to be associated with that.
"Our name will follow us. People will treat Pearl differently, for better or worse. If she`s being a brat and people accept that because she`s an Osbourne, that`s not what we want at all."
Jack - the son of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon - admits their decision is partly based on his own experiences at school.
He told Britain`s HELLO! magazine: "My experience at school was pretty bad - being dyslexic, being sent to a special school, always being pulled out of school because my parents were travelling. I wonder why my parents didn`t just home-school us off the bat."
