Rewritten Article:
Hugh Grant's slams modern education, worrying about the effect on his kids.
The charming Love Actually actor isn't pleased with the educational system these days. At a campaigning event in a west London school, he ripped into present-day school rules, describing them as downright pathetic.
Sitting down for an exclusive chat, he blurts, "They're always keeping the kids indoors due to some teeny-tiny reasons like rain or wind, it's just plain ridiculous. I dream of a school that breaks the mold."
According to The Telegraph, the 64-year-old movie star wasn't shy about voicing his disapproval of the school's Chromebook policy, stating, "Giving every kid a Chromebook? The last thing they need. The last thing we need."
At the event, Grant was joined by American social psychologist Dr. Jonathan Haidt, and King Charles' cousin Sophie Winkleman.
Being a father of five, Grant is no stranger to parenting. He shares three children - Blue, John Mungo, and Lulu - with his wife, Anna Eberstein, and two older children, Tabith and Felix, with his ex-partner Tinglan Hong.
Tying the knot in 2018 at the Chelsea Register Office, Grant and Eberstein make quite the pair.
It's worth noting that Hugh Grant (the actor) and Hugh Grant (the technology and education researcher) have different views on educational technology. While Grant (the actor) thinks schools should use technology less, Grant (the researcher) sees digital tools as allies in promoting educational equity [5]. In other words, there's no clear consensus on the role of technology in education, with perspectives varying based on context.
