What?!?
An actor telling us what life is like.
He needs to go back under his rock.
Who is going to speak for the rest of the people who work at crappy salaries and long hours without living in fear of losing their job because they can't do it.
End child abuse, end public schools

Yeah, that's almost as absurd as a truck driver telling us what life is like.

I don't, either, but that's not my point. What someone does for a job doesn't really give them any special insight into, or preclude them from knowing, what life is like, be they a truck driver, an actor, a donut maker, an auto mechanic, or an assembly line worker.

Well I'm not kidding - matt keep your mouth shut.
It don't matter what his mom did or who she did, what matters is our school system is in a wreck and people in third world nations are doing better in the jobs our kids should have no issues with.
Try to find someone who can count change for a purchase and see what happens. Is it a problem with parents who are not involved with their kids or is it a problem where the teachers not teaching the right things.
The biggest issue is a lack of accountability and a lack of local control - both issues are in part caused by tenure and unions.
IF educating our kids are as important as many make it out as, why does the union fight charter schools and school vouchers?

I love Hollywood. Full of people who pretend for a living, telling people about what reality is. They sit on their pedestals built upon the free market, and remind others they live in a sewer of a country, because we should be more like Europe. Telling us the evils of the rich, while they light their bongs with $100 bills.
Greg's right. Shut the hell up, Matt Damon! Go back to your land of make believe!

The federal government and unions, the two worst things you can have involved in any endeavor, and both are involved in education. The iPad won't do flash so I haven't heard what Damon says but can imagine. Tenure should be abolished. Kids should be left behind. Education is an opportunity and a benefit. Kids that don't appreciate it should be left behind and all resources focused on those who work for it.

If the parents dont care, the kids will get left behind without guidance, IMHO.

Then that's where you have a secondary school, for those who try, but can't cut the mustard. If a classroom only goes as fast as its slowest student, then it's an all or nothing endeavor. Umm... I don't want my kid in the same class as a slow learner, or someone who has no interest.
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT...PLEASE...its not his moms fault...she is keeping up her end...He was defending his mother ...kudos to him yes the system is a mess but we.need.A LOT MORE.PEOPLE LIKE.MATTS MOM......WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP THE PROBLEM...WELL HUH....BESIDES COMPLAIN!!! you are a nut I.swear..
