Hugh Grant Blasts ‘Pathetic’ Rules at His Kids’ ‘Ridiculous Posh Private Schools’ The actor shared his criticisms during an event organized by Close Screens, Open Minds to promote phone-free schools

Grant, who has five children — Tabitha, 13, John, 12, Felix, 12, Lulu, 9, and Blue, 7 — also aired his dissatisfaction with schools requiring children to use laptops, especially since “children” only “want to be on a screen” these days.

“The final straw was when the school started saying, with some smugness, ‘We give every child a Chromebook, and they do a lot of lessons on their Chromebook, and they do all their homework on their Chromebook,’ ” the actor recalled. “And you just thought, ‘That is the last f—— thing they need, and the last thing we need.’ ”
