HS kids in movies?

Question

A mention of HS kids in the movie RV has me wondering what other movies there are featuring homeschooled or home educated children. There are old ones like Mary Poppins and The Railway Children where it's not explicitly mentioned but it's obvious that the children don't go to school. What more modern ones are there?

Answer 1

In the movie "A River Runs Through It" the father home schooled both his sons.

Added: In an episode of the Simpson's Bart is home schooled.

Answer 2

The name escapes me right now, but there is a Nickelodeon cartoon with a related movie.  The family consists of mom and dad, who film documentaries about animals, and the middle child-a daughter who can talk to animals (unknown to anyone else).  She has a teenaged sister, a wild younger brother and a pet monkey.  Anyway, the children in that are apparently home educated, though it is never mentioned-I suppose they unschool.

Homeschooling is mentioned in Horton Hears a Who (the kangaroo "Pouch Schools" her joey, and apparently the comparison to homeschooling is not a favorable one).

I look forward to hearing other answers.

EDITED TO ADD: Yes, that is it!  The Wild Thornberries!  Thank you so much.  It annoys me so much when I can not recall something.

Answer 3

The kittens in Disney's Aristocats are homeschooled.

Answer 4

The main character in Mean Girls was homeschooled before she went to public school.

Answer 5

I don't know about homeschool mentions, but the boy in Night at the Museum (Jake Cherry) is homeschooled in NJ !

Answer 6

The one where Tim Curry did the voice of the Dad? The Wild Thornberries!

Answer 7

the wild thornberries is the one ur talking about.

Answer 8

To answer Braxowl, I think you mean the Wild Thornberries!

That was a great show when it was on:]

Answer 9

That move bugs me so much! We have a camper and travel alot...and everyone assumes my kids are a obnoxious as the ones in that movie!

Popstar is about a homeschooled kid who is a popstar. Also, I have seen Wife Swap had a homeschool family (although that made them look a little strange)

There also was a South Park episode with a homeschool family. It was pretty bad. The kids were both super-smart kids with no social skills.
