Netizens say they 'feel sorry for all those Kardashian kids'

Meanwhile, people have reacted to Kourtney Kardashian's statement on schooling.

A reader wrote below the Page Six article, "Dummy dislikes school , predictable."

Another one said, "Kourtney doesn't work. She doesn't do laundry or clean her house. Everything is done for her and her family by hired help. Most Americans can barely pay their bills. Home schooling is great if you can afford it but it's also very difficult with more than one child at home. It's good for children to inter-act with other children and to learn the basics of academics, team building, playing together and social functions. Not having $100,000 birthday parties."

"The Kardashians are on a mission to dumb society down to their level," a third one stated.

A comment read, "Wow. Kids need a strong education in the basics. She’s not articulate when she speaks, at all. I feel sorry for all those kardashian kids, for many reasons. "

"Kourtney doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the lighting store. So now she wants her kids to be like her. If they don’t go to school, they can’t go to college. So she is basically telling them to live off her money. Maybe they can lie in bed all day or play video games. When they get old enough to rent a home for themselves, they can get her to pay. All in all, she has assured them of no future," a person commented.

Another person added, "She doesn't want them to be smarter than her!"

A user wrote, "Anyone count how many times she used the word like because she couldn’t continue her thought process? Or how many F bombs she dropped. This illiterate mother is endorsing children not getting a proper education? She is raising the next generation of Kardashians and it doesn’t look good folks."
