The Buckley School (in Sherman Oaks, where all five of them go) makes allowances, and a social worker-tutor travels with the boys wherever they go, but show biz is still a schooling handicap. But then again, the boys, who; get only a small allowance each week, aren't subject to the pressures of traveling grown-ups -you know, wasting time with those worthless chickies on the road, migraine headaches, creaking bones, drugs and alcohol-instead, they unwind nightly with pillow fights and card...
