I'm going to miss them.

brad and angelina better not use this situation to elicit sympathy later when he's a teen. they know the effects of not giving their child a stable environment/consistent education and are chosing to waste money ($100,000 a month!) to make money. Hey, since they get paid the big bucks, they need to hire tutors and therapists before Maddox decides to drop-out altogether.

good that she's in black again!

Wonder if they'll stay in LA cos I know Angelina hates living there.

Lol, are these parents taking pics in the background?

maddox is so cute omg he's almost bout to graduate lol not that it significantly impacts my life but lol i read anyway

feel bad for those kids..constantly being uprooted.

I wish her and Brad would just dissappear for a while, Im so sick of seeing thier ugly faces every single day! I feel really bad for thier children, they better have plenty of money when the kids are older, the therapy bills will be huge!

Umm, didn't Angelina say that she was going to take a break after filming "Wanted" in the Czech Rebublic? Also, how do these kids handle changing from school to school. In less than a year, Mad was in the French school in New Orleans, then the Czech Republic, then New York and now L.A.? Obviously, they're not learning the same exact stuff at the same time in these schools. So, he's missing out on a lot. Honestly, I don't see the hype with Brangelina. They seem way boring eand are very overrated. I'd rather look at pics of Tom and Katie, with their little bundle of joy, Suri. They're kind of mysterious as people and as a couple - and it makes you want more from them. More TomKat/Suri pics, PopSugar. Please?!?

i agree they're overrated lol but they're way too damn hot

i like the afflecks more i guess haha seem more genuine

jenn86 i'm with you
i want suri and katie

Poor kids.

Jenny.. actually they are.. all four schools that Maddox has attended (LA, NOLA, Prague and NYC) are the Lycee school system that has a uniform international ciriculum.

I understand the situation of the kids being up rooted all the time. Kids bounce back better than you think and learn to adapt quickly to their environment. I am sure the kids understand that is mom and dads life and that it calls for frequent moves and trips. The kids are probably learning more than other children because they are seeing the world and different environments, culture etc.. Just like the military kids. They do not stay in one place long but they adapt. Military kids can look at a map and tell you where any state or continent is.

Oh here we go on the school thing. First, her kids are young, this makes them adaptable. Second, she is a global woman, she won't raise provincial kids. Today's kids are global, too, that's a fact. A child's education comes from many places. To many people, change is welcome because it isn't a big deal, it's new, fun and exciting.

Aj said she was taking a year off after her filming commitments.. Wanted and the Changeling.. if you look at imdb she has no filming projects lined up after the end of this year. The only thing that might be added is Atlas Shrugged which is a passion project she has been trying to get going for several years and might finally have a director and screenwriter for. If it gets greenlighted it would be shot in early 2008 (Jan thru Feb) and then she will be off indefinately. (Thomas Crown sequel is pure rumor at this point)

Brad is non stop filming in 2008..which means AJ and the kids will follow him around.

^Until the kid grows up to be a disturbed teen, and that sh*t ain't fun.

i was talking to you, desertbanshee.

No teen is fun and most teens whether they have sat on their farm all their life or traveled the world are all really disturbed. It is not until they reach their 30's that they start using their brains.

There are over 400 Lycées Français schools located throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa, so they can go almost anywhere and still continue the same education. Only Maddox is in school right now.

With all this travel they have an opportunity to see more of a city than just a short vacation.

Poor Maddox. It must be hard to get used to one school then be uprooted to go to another. It must be hard to make friends and establish relationships!

You know, when I see their kids they are laughing, happy and really healthy. It doesn't seem like it's affecting them. That is all pure speculation. Will Maddox grow up to be a rebellious teen? Probably since 99.99999% of teens are rebellious. I think people just don't like them because of she who shall not be named and judge every little thing they do as being bad or evil in some way. You know it's those people who say "Why do they take them out so much and wh*re them to the paps?" and then when there are no photos of the kids for a couple of days they'll say, "Why do they have kids if they are just going to leave them at home with the nanny?" Or my favorite "Why doesn't Angelina carry Shiloh?" has turned to "She's only carrying her for attention."

maybe you guys can recommend a good psychiatrist to them

tomkat mysterious as a couple, please

I never know anything with the Bradgelina thing or whatever, but I like her coat.

Thanks for the warning, but I'm not ready to resign him to the psych ward just yet.

Going to school is not just about getting an education or a consistent course curriculum. What about the opportunity to build relationships and make life long friends? Are people so blinded by brangelina’s glamour that they cannot see these children are being treated like accessories? Maddox et al will most definitely develop attachment disorders – whenever they try to make friends, they have to move on. No way is that good for children

So what your saying is that the millions of children who moved a lot with their military families have attachment disorders? And people in foreign service? And all the actors who have been traveling with their kids like this for years but just weren't photographed daily?

In the Pitt-Jolie family, they do have their home in LA to return to, and friends Maddox made last year in school and soccer. And now he will be one of the cool kids for having been all these places. When his teachers talk about art, science and natural history, he's already seen a lot of it first hand from the museums and travels, while most kids only learn it from books and videos.

Well said.

ITA Ginger.
I am glad that they're not going to be in NY anymore because the paparazzi presence outside Maddox's school is ridiculous. They should come back to NOLA! ♥

Bravo Ginger! I happen to be a teacher and I know that the most inportant thing isn't about the achool, it's about the family. I have taught military children who move around a lot, border patrol children who get transferred and they were fine. The most important thing is that they have a loving home with two parents that adore them and Brad and Angie clearly adore those childre.

I am happy it took me a minute to post as I was going to jump on the bandwagon of "let Maddox have consistent schooling" however after reading very intelligent comments from you guys I am off that wagon. I LOVE that Madd is attending the same school regardless of resident city. That is such a great idea for families that tend to move around. Wish I had thought of it So, I agree - family is very important and children are very very adaptable - they make friends so easy.

Only time will tell regarding the Jolie-Pitt brood. We all thought Britney grew up in a loving home environment. Look at her now.

totally agree bout the britney thing.

does this mean they'll be at the Lycee in Culver City??? I'm staking out!!

people move around all the time. kids definitely do learn to adjust. give em a little credit. i love brad and angie. i think they're wonderful.

WooHoo! Desertbanshee, Ginger, chiquitita,imabeliever, mominator - right on with your comments! I love it when I read comments that make so much sense. Kids do adapt and while I could not lead the kind of life that Brad and Angie do, I give them major credit for doing their own thing and I have no doubt that part of that is making sure that Maddox and their other kids receive a good education. They have everything in place to facilitate that.

Like desertbanshee mentioned they are more global and their life reflects that. They make choices that freak a lot of people out because it's not the norm. I freak out at Britney's lack of parenting skills, I have no concern whatsoever about the love and education that Angie and Brads kid are receiving - none. They will be the new generation of kids that see the world from a more global aspect and that's pretty amazing.

And major kudos to you dejablueforever! I love the fact that you read first and took other posters comments into consideration before jumping on the band wagon. It takes a secure person to be willing to step back and see another point of view! I am a convert to Angie and Brad (especially Angie) and while there are still some aspects of their life that don't align with my views, I've come to see them in a different light. I love it when other people experience that too - well done!

You all need to go and take some basic child development classes and psychology 101. As any psychologist worth her salt will tell you what she is doing is in general very de-stabilizing for kids and NOT advisable. Younger children can get stuck in the developmental stage they were beginning at the time of a significant move and younger & older children can struggle to make appropriate and lasting connections to peers and others in their lives which can negatively impact them as they get older. Yes attachment disorders are a real possibility among other potential issues. I'm not saying all kids who move a around a great deal will suffer profoundly, but if you have the resources not to uproot your family and give your children a stable childhood, that is the responsible and mature thing to do (not to mention unselfish). Most people in the army or foreign service don't have a large amount of money in the bank and rely on their paychecks to put food on their tables (they don't have 100,000 grand to lay out for a ridiculous apt for a month) Army kids or foreign service kids also in general move every 3-5 years, not every 6 months. All I'm saying is that their actions portray a woman and man who are very egocentric and immature. You don’t have to make movies to be an actor. In fact you can act in any city, in particular as many of the smaller cities in the U.S. begin to develop thriving theater scenes, you just don’t get the publicity you do making a Hollywood movie (ie: no ego stroking). They clearly have enough money to live very comfortably for the rest of their lives and when you make a decision to have children you and your needs come second. Both of them really need to grown up and put their kids first (I know, I know they say it is what their kids want, but kids also want to eat ice cream for every meal. Kids need parents who will make responsible choices). Yes it is great to expose children to other cultures, but I have a hard time imagining that her kids mix with the locals or are even in one place long enough to begin to understand where they are.

imabeliever, YOU COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG.

I went to Le Lycee Francais De Los Angeles. It is not connected to the other french schools in any way. It has the same uniform, but the curriculum is completely different.

Jeez, you Brangelina fans will try to defend them no matter what. Even if the curriculum were exactly the same, IT'S STILL NOT NORMAL, DAMN IT. You really think it's normal to change your school 5 times a year? To go to a new school, being lonely, taking time to get used to the new school, new people, new teachers?? Umm.. if you think that's normal, there must be something wrong with you. This is a very confusing and scary thing for children, especially when only 6 like Maddox.

It would be better for them to settle down and raise their children normally.

I agree completely agree with you, "Sad World".

If anyone disagrees, they're just brainwashed and no matter what "brangelina" does, they're still saints.

They're bad parents.

No Backtoblack, YOU couldn't be more WRONG. Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles and Lycée Français de New York are part of the Association of the French Schools in North America (AFSA).

AFSA was created in 1985 to bring together the North American schools following the French National Curriculum and to advance the cause of bilingual education. There are currently 37 AFSA schools in the United States and Canada. All member schools are accredited by the French Ministry of Education and are not-for-profit organizations. They also belong to an international network of more than 450 schools.

But I guess those of you who hate Angelina so much are willing to spread misinformation just to make her look bad. Talk about brainwashed!

i really feel so bad for mad..i mean can he just stay in one school?
it's hard for a kid to move around and not having a habbit!!
get it over..they really need to stay in one place!!

I feel bad that Maddox never gets to stay in one place too long. Yes, they travel a lot and he's probaably used to it, and he gets to see a lot of the world, but he never gets the opportunity to build deep connections to other kids that aren't in his family.

funny how certain member only register so they hate on others

what the hell is exactly normal... theres was a time when a black and white couple getting together wasn't considered normal... when gays were considered not normal...maybe some of you can recommend the psychiatrist that you saw

It's sad that they leave New York and Mad change his school again. But I think Angie'll never do things that may be bad for her children.

Young kids need stability! They aren't developmentally ready to be "global" until they are much older.

I think Brad and Angelina are a lot more competitive than they care to admit, maybe even towards each other.

Dont they know that children need stability? They are already live a less than normal life, the least they could do for these kids is keep them in one school for longer than a few months. They need to making friends and keeping friends now when they are young, because once they get older it will get harder and harder for them to make real friends, because everyone will want to be their friend because of who they are.

So you are saying that at 6 years old you need your teachers and friends more than you need your parents?

You have to look at Brad and Angie's big picture (as they laid it out). Try to alternate work schedules and film as much as possible now, staying together as a family to build up the resources to be able to lay roots and back away from Hollywood by the time the kids are all Elementary school age. Then they can resurface for passion projects every few years.

Sure they could leave the kids with a Nanny and/or a nanny and one paretns while another parents goes away for amonth or more to shoot on location. Many Hollywood stars do it.

Or they can travel as a family, always together while the kids are young and be with their parents every single day, even while filming and do their best to find solutions for school and friends (like the Lycee school system).

And in regards to children being disrupted and psychologically damaged by constantly moving. Most studies are done on older children and/or children who stay in each place longer than these kids. This is the age when friendships are easy to make and are not life long.

If you were born into this lifestyle and constantly surrounded by the same loving parents, siblings close in age, nanny, even bodyguards(which the kids have shown loving behavior towards) then you have the stablilty you need and you are not aware there is another way to live.

And if we are taking bets on the Hollywood baby that will need the most therapy when an adult.. than my money is on Suri!

global this global that...the kid needs stabilty albeit he has it with his parents it would be highly beneficial for him to be stable in another enviornment also. But each to their own
