Matt Damon Rips Reporter while Defending Teachers 

❤

Hmm Nice... Bet u won't say the same when your country shoves that ridiculous high bill sent to u bcuz u visited the doctor. I'm saying country bcuz the politicians aren't doing much about the health care system

​@@emyf9197take your political religion and go preach somewhere else. To top it off you don't even make sense.

And teachers like you is why nobody does anything to raise your pay, I love your passion for it but also, think about yourself. The notion that Matt doesn’t work harder to not lose a role to RDJ for instance is incredibly hypocritical. I’m sure you love your job, but knowing that you’re well taken care of for doing an amazing job is well deserved and just!

Imo, good teachers are just as necessary as heart surgeons for the health of America.

Love that… so true. It just takes one person to care & it will change your life.

@@janeskey5042 thank you, it really does... I own my own business and over the years, I've trained many lads to do my job, I've wished them well when they left to start their own companies, am godfather to a few of their kids and love watching them make successes of their lives (I look for kids that were like me).. Watching them buy their first home, get married etc.. Its so rewarding... But I think about Mr Williamson at some point every week, he was so influential, a perfect role model and a gentleman.. He taught me how to be a man. These people are so underrated..

His care and concern and interest landed on fertile ground. You had he are both to be commended. Inspiring, thank you

That's inspiring. I just had teachers that screamed at me.

My teacher was Mr. Kissell. Gone now, but never forgotten.

Ah, was wondering where his insight came from. Actors lead such insulated lifestyles it always seems to have to happen to them/near them/to their kid or family, for it to even register and be of importance to them. JS.

Well I’m glad you were isolated from sh*t teachers. My friends and I remember several teachers just giving us a task and then they disappeared for the rest of the hour. What I just said answered Matt’s ignorant statement.

@@sharpthingsinspace9721right, let’s just say f**k all teachers because you had some bad ones in school. Why don’t we just shut down the whole police force because of Rodney King? Or take an axe to the whole Catholic Church, or Southern Baptist Church, or Boy Scouts of America. Larry Nassar was a problem, why not just shut down the whole U.S. Olympic gymnastics program? Give me a break man. I’ve never seen someone be so ignorant while simultaneously accusing someone else of ignorance.

@@sharpthingsinspace9721 Remember any good teachers?

@@sharpthingsinspace9721 He wasn't ignorant. Your anecdotal experience is NOT representative of teachers in general and is entirely reductive, absent of context. There are always going to be anomalies in any given situation, but he wasn't talking about anomalies, was he? Anomalies are not representative of reality at large. However, I do believe you've had shitty teachers because clearly, that experience has completely robbed you of critical thinking and common sense.

Show me the "articulate part". Idiot Really long hours? GTFO

and clearly she didn't understand the motivation to act as well as why teachers want to teach! I'd say, additionally...they don't get the resources they need so most buy many things for the classroom themselves!I've only witnessed handful of teachers who were clearly ready to retire and should've retired already. All the rest love what they do.

@@dod2304 "buy many things" LOL, Yeah, no. You're in LaLa land. Wake up

@@dod2304 In the Boston area, those public school teachers are earning $90=123K/annum. Their pensions are golden. Meanwhile, you are clueless. LOL

​@seanmurphy2302 I live in California, teach for less than 50K/year, can't afford the average rent nor to buy more than a trailer in a trailer park. My pension will NOT be great because I started at 40 yrs old. His words correctly describe many teachers (and we're quitting in droves).

I dated a teacher. From that experience I can confidently say it changes DRASTICALLY depending on where you teach. The difference between where she was teaching when we met and where she ended up teaching when she moved to my area was about $30k. She was a 12 year teacher making $60k a year in California only able to have her own apartment because the people she rented her condo from basically gave her way under market rent because she was a teacher. The fact that teachers are required to spend so much money on their classroom that then can't be written off is ridiculous. And if you teach in the wrong area it's absolutely under paid you have to know that right?

No one can afford CA. My husband is an aerospace engineer and we barely survived living there.

Then go back and teach, even if it's part time or substitute. Do what you enjoy.

Yeah..my teacher..came from wealthty family..but she still teaching.. Respect for her and all of the teacher on the globe... If they sincere

Teaching is the most noble job in human history, especially the older generation, I'm a 70s child, those teachers taught us more than just the materials they were supposed to teach, old school teachers were like another version of your parent at the time, God bless them.

Too bad a lot don’t look at their job like that anymore.

Not to mention, his comments prove that he DID gain Admission to Harvard University on Merit, before he ever became a celebrity or movie star... He's clearly a very Bright man!!- :)

Teachers have been corrupted by the narrative of the extremist left.

Now teachers are activists and indoctrinate students.

Yes, it’s 100% a gift, and not everyone is capable. Thank you for teaching.

here here well said

yes, and how bout a teacher's competence??? Because without that, we have the bullshit, corrupt school system we have today...not to mention a culture of retards like the thousands who support this shit and who quote sensationalistic lines that sound good but mean nothing, such as yourself

It has to be a passion, a calling, because they're sure not doing it for the money.

no it doesnt

It’s a highly favourable job for narcissists, having power over children and to be seen as the know it all in a subject…I have a friend who is a teacher and he said the whole staff are extremely toxic people

Banner headline reads: "How do ya like them apples?"

Hundred!

Was looking for this comment 😂

Yeah, he went full on Will Hunting there for sure. The only thing missing was the book references and math equations.

My boy Will jumped right out, haha!

His reasoning is biased and flawed. Both my parents were teachers and I don't agree with his logic here.

​@robmichael8136 what makes his opinion anymore biased and flawed than yours?

@@mrvlsmrv Because he's saying her opinion is wrong when it's just her take. He could say he just disagreed with her assumption, but then he went on and talked about his opinion like it was an objective truth compared to her opinion. I've had great teachers and poor teachers. I've had a teacher that bragged about tenure before. Education in the US has been poor for awhile now compared to other nations. Test scores nation-wide have also been in decline. Maybe tenure isn't the best path forward if it protects and shields teachers that are lacking from valid job assessment and performance.

@@robmichael8136 she was posing a premise into a question. He disagrees with the premise. He gave his take on it. He thinks it is wrong and gave his reasoning behind it.

Excellent response !!❤❤❤😂😊

I'd like to know how many films he's done for free...

@@GETX2 So tell me, how many jobs do YOU work for FREE? 😂😂🤬

yeah, I just don't get her question; guess she thought she was so intelligent...not.

Crooked media, trying to take something good and turn it into something bad

@@CKLee-rs4kl exactly ! dumb-azz thought she had a thought in that brain & Matt put her back on earth, where she gets an attitude adjustment

One of the most grounded actor...with a few others. Passion is the key word behind success...a passionate teacher is successful a passionate actor us successful a passionate truck driver is successful...that's it.

Matt Damon's Mom was standing next to him - you can see part of "Mom" on screen. I'm glad that she got to see her son defend her profession so strongly. The original video is "What We Saw At The Save Our Schools Rally in Washington D.C." by ReasonTV.

Teachers are failing... They all can't be "good" when their students aren't reflective of their work. Most teachers are failures at something else.

He's under a delusion people don't work harder when there is income incentive. A true socialist that only plays intelligent people in movies.

​@@redlightmaxscrew bad teacher's they are indoctrination camps

Takes 1/3 of the year off and is over paid.

"Do you honestly think they would take a shitty salary and long hours if they didn't love teaching?"

Love it or not... teaching critical race theory, sexually explicit books, and gay pride flags and social sciences.. means that most teachers should be fired.

​@@AdamWilliamsLiveTracknope

​@AdamWilliamsLiveTrack You're an example of why these things need to be taught - so people can consider and be informed and form fully founded opinions based on facts as opposed to to 'dRaG QuEEnS aRe BrAInWaShINg our ChILdReN'

@@kathrynbrookes3834yeah.. maybe they should be taught this stuff 9th-12th grade but not in elementary when they know nothing about the world and are extremely malleable and able to be convinced to believe anything..

Some of them. I had a teacher that literally just sat down, read a newspaper and told us to read our history book quietly for almost the entire time. It got so bad everyone was asking him to actually do something like teach for once.

@@RobertoNachoz I understand. I just want to have fun all day with my students!

@@RobertoNachozWow. So 1 out of probably 32 teachers you interacted with. My God! How did you ever get over it ?

​@@briangallagher787 Great reply!

Not all teachers!

Ditto! Same here.

30+. You and others of your generation are in a completely different category. Teachers such as yourself were interested and took personal pride and satisfaction in seeing your pupils succeed and produce. I remember my teachers. Some of them would stay back at the end of the day in order to provide extra lessons to those who needed it. They were paid to do so, as was the correct thing to do; some even held the lessons at their homes. They were real teachers. They established, from the beginning of the first day of school, exactly who was in charge of the classroom. Our teachers corrected and disciplined us without ever raising their voices or passing our and insulting us. The respect was mutual. I never heard any of the students who were disciplined retaliating by violence or even talking back. When we grumbled, it was in our heads. We showed our teachers the same respect we showed our parents. Guess what? Those teachers never heard the word 'Tenure.' They earned their jobs and kept them by demonstrating they were good at what that did. If perchance, one of them underperformed, they were fired, and a more competent one was hired. Meritocracy works in every area. It forces everyone to do their very best every time if they'd like to remain employed.

@@Q-ed9dc When an uncouth GOON like Donald Trump has been elected president of the most powerful country in the world today, the United States of America, once, and is now planning to run for president again, with high chances of being elected in spite of all his moral and ethical shortcomings, then "meritocracy" proves to be just another BS word.

By rattling off a bunch of awful bullet points? How many films has he done for free?

@@GETX2why does he need to do them for free? You have completely missed the point

In fact I’ve heard people are leaving teaching in droves. Have you seen this?

I love maths

​@zetizahara yes! I'm in the UK in the sector and many teachers are leaving the profession! Long hours Average working conditions. Growing issues with violent children and educational policies that don't protect teachers! Schools get the blame for poor behaviour of children (even from parents)...so why bother?

Teachers also spend their own money

Caveat. Pure sciences and math tend to be uninfected with the woke virus. Kudos to you for teaching

Sam Briton

Oh contraire! He's economically ignorant; I'd say detached from reality. He can care about teachers all he wants, but he's ignorant of real economics. He wants "to be an actor." Would he do his acting for minimum wage?

@@JK-dn9bu Why don't you go ask him, you are aware im not him right? The fuck out my face with that bot ass name

Matt is not ignorant.

@@JK-dn9bu That was the dumbest analogy I have ever heard. Actors worked for 0 dollars at the beginning of their careers. They did free Broadway plays all the time. Most of them were broke for years before they even saw a cent. They get paid for what money they bring in. School administrators are the ones who should be paid minimum wage. They never do their jobs and get paid 300k a year for destroying most schools.

Some journalists are sometimes clueless and even sometimes ignorants when asking nonsense questions with the only ending of provoking Well done Matt, your knowledge is greater than hers

To you having full control over your emotions and actions is a "REAL MAN" I get that having low expectations will never get you disappointed, But, dang. Lift those expectations off the floor.

​@@margolockwood5390 He's impulsive when provoked which is why 99.99% percent of actors should just stick with their fictitious scripts.

The Lord will reward you greatly. Thank you for your sacrifice of love! Thats so precious. 🌹

@@omeliachan5199 thank you for your kind words. It made my day. I was feeling a bit depressed cause I really loved my job and was missing it. After becoming disabled, my quality of life will never be the same. I live in pain and some days it’s excruciating with no relief. 💜💕❤️🙏🌈🐶🐾🐈

@awesomekoga7848 I too am (/was) a teacher (primary school and special/inclusive education, specialising in E/BD), in Australia, 35 years old. Teaching was my passion, not just a job! Especially E/BD. I too am disabled and can no longer do my job.🙁 not from my work, but from fibromyalgia (so I empathise with the living in pain and sometimes excruciating pain, too🤕). I understand how you feel and the pain of the loss of your job. I guess I have no helpful words to say, but I know for me it helps to be understood and appreciated. God bless ❤ God has a plan for each of us and uses all things for our good and His glory. It doesn't make sense to me now, and may not for the rest of my life, but I trust Him and I pray you do too!😊 praying for you, lovely 🙂💛

You are blessed. Sorry you were hurt. I'm a counselor for the schools. This summer I'm teaching Title 1 children. I wouldn't trade this experience for any other work. I'm over 60 but I love working in this field.

Mcdonalds Generates Money...Being a Teacher Does Not...If Teachers Teaching Students Somehow Generated Money The Teachers Would Get Paid More

Yep. Most teachers get my respect and admiration for making a meaningful contribution to society. Anyone with a salary over five times the median income had better make a massive positive impact. Most do not.

I has teachers who were horrible. I've also had teachers who were phenomenal. Why shouldn't there be an incentive where the great ones get paid more?

Or for the bad teachers protected by tenure to have their job performance vetted?

We can see him refocusing his thoughts when he saw the direction of the question.

He really zeroed in ♥️I think he’s married to a teacher too, right?

What was wrong with her premise? "This MBA style of thinking"? LOL. Who grants that MBA? Shitty teachers, that's who.

@@seanmurphy2302 Usually a "professor" or an "instructor" teaches courses for an MBA. Generally the term "teacher" is used for K-12 who don't give out MBAs. As for what is wrong with her premise? She implies teachers aren't working hard enough compared to actors. The actor is saying "what are you talking about? Teachers teach because they want to help kids. They wouldn't choose a much lower salary [compared to actors] unless they loved what they do". Maybe they should try teaching how to interpret what people are saying in those MBA courses.

​@@MagnumCartaQuit acting like every single teacher is capable of doing so much more and are highly qualified and ignore the case of them not being good at anything else and getting a job that doesn't require much.

Teachers don't work long hours

@@AmandaHugnkiss-kp3fy you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about! They get a decent amount of time off, but when they are working, they work very long hours. When the day ends, they have to grade a lot of stuff very often. They have to email parents and converse with them, the job never ends you are simpleton, and you are ignorant.

​@@AmandaHugnkiss-kp3fyYes, they do‼️ Because they work long hours at home, long in to the night, after they leave school in the afternoon. I'm a teachers son, and was so often jealous of my fathers school when I was a litle boy😮‍💨

It's not crap. There are good teachers and bad teachers like any other profession. The difference is that tenure protects the bad teachers from any objective measure of job performance (unlike many other jobs) and it affects children's the most. I don't know if you've noticed, but education in America has fallen on the world stages substantially from lax standards and poor education.

That's absolutely wrong...seen it first hand when an English prof went and failed 92% of every class and was removed including his PHDs

That's nice to hear. Thanks for sharing!

@@larswiegand5217 I notice that you got no response. And what does 22 hours/week mean? Time IN the classroom? Outside the classroom counts too: lesson plans, paper grading, test grading. @glp.1337 has no answer. I guarantee, those teachers are putting in more than 22 hours per week.

And some parents who choose not to parent. No rules. No structure. No boundaries. No consequences. No incentives. Low expectations. Few family conversations. Allowing social media to raise their kids. 25-year elementary school teacher here. Bless your heart for working in middle school…even more challenging, IMO, than elementary.

maybe holding kids in a classroom against their will wasn't the best idea

​@@Ludwig1625 yeah, we should let those uneducated, self centered and inexperienced little humans who are vulnerable to practically everything decide what should happen to them!! 😂😂 What a retard! 🤤

The tenure line is ultimately what swayed me against his argument. I have had to endure one too many tenured professor who were way too comfortable and gave not a single damn about their students. The worst professors I've ever had were tenured. In my experience, it's by and large the adjuncts who have the drive and passion to teach.

I understand the absence of students because that happened to my son. It as a struggle every day just to get him to go. Found out there were gang members waiting outside the school perimeter attempting to coerce him and a few other boys into a gang they had. This was a new and excellent school district too. So I had to take him and pick him up daily from school. I caused him to be late on some days because I didn’t get to leave work soon enough to beat traffic and it was very frustrating. The city started programs geared toward the gang activities so it did improve but there can be reasons nobody ever thinks of for students not wanting to go to school. Bullies, bad teachers, bad environment and multiple other factors. We need to investigate closely for what they may be.

I don't know. He's still the same person who said diversity only matters in front of the camera, not behind it

When they do that they get called 'woke'.

​​@@JaneAustenAteMyCatYeah cause u can't have morals and ethics unless u base everything u say or do around race right 🤨🙄 Can't walk around being colorblind in today's society cause that's racist now. Used to be the opposite until ppl actually stopped being racist and the powers that be decided they needed to use racism to attack their opponents. Now they use things like DEI to get away with outright racism. Nobody is safe talking about race in 2024 unless your black, brown, or a white virtue signaling democrat who's so deeply rooted in racism that they can't help but to consistently resurrect their racist ways.

@yippee8570 He's right. We only have to force inclusivity on camera when we know the people who are hypersensitive will scream about a lack of representation. In real life people flow in and out of storylines in ways that are natural and make sense. Not every hospital, apartment complex, or police squad is going to always have a person from every ethnicity, creed, color, and gender.

Thats a dumb question. You ask "do you know any shitty cameramen who dont try because they have job security? I worked as a union cameraman, getting job security will 100% result in some of the people not trying. This is a probelm with teachers. My mom and my sister are both teachers, and my sister would constantly complain about some of the people in teachers college that were getting into teaching for the wrong reasons, like the pay, its actually a very good job in Canada, and getting summers off.

I dont know where you live, but all i hear is super respect for teachers.

A teacher taught me how to read. Books taught me how to paint pictures with my imagination. Thank you ... very much... for turning on all those light bulbs of understanding.

Listen to your kind of people.

I’ve seen good and bad teachers but the good ones far outnumber the bad. I’m thankful for my teachers back in the 70’s and remember their encouragement. I’ve now seen teachers with my two sons and my granddaughter. They have been nothing but positive influences. My granddaughter loves school and her teachers. She was complaining that spring break was too long because she missed going to school. We love our teachers and librarians. Thank you

well a bunch of you are giving the green light to weirdo alphabet propaganda and borderline if not actual pr0n in school.

Like teachers aren’t already accountable, stop getting your ‘news’ from the Faux Channel

You're half right. Teachers are already held accountable by administrators and parents and do what they're told to keep their jobs but for the most part they're still not paid much.

As should parents who are also meant to teach their own children.

@@petrasworld913 I assume you must mean non-union teachers are held accountable. The principle at my kids high school seems pretty powerless to change anything about a teachers approach or enforce any kind of standard.

I would imagine it's beyond frustrating ~even infuriating dealing with all the bureaucracy. It's especially bad here in FL. The past few years I've watched several teachers either leave the state, switch to out of state on-line, or just flat out leave the state. 😢

​@@SunriseSurprise Oh no! All the groomers are leaving the state?

100% this. There is no funding for say, kids who are violent and disruptive (destroy the classroom on a weekly basis). They are just in the class and nothing is done and teachers must teach with kids like this in their class.

​@ScenOne parents rights groups and the unions pushed for this "mainstream" all kids as much as possible. It has been an unmitigated disaster for the special needs kids as it has for the non-special needs. When the primary objective is mainstream above all else the SPED kids get put in classes that make them feel like failures, teachers struggle to keep up pace for the non SPED students. It is a lose, lose, lose proposition.

The lazy ones are subs that go full-time.

​@@PlethoralityAgreed

90% of stuff we use in school.We never use in the real world Teachers are obviously important but I feel they are Overdramatized

@@igot5onit423 overdramatized how exactly? By the lack of support they get from parents? By the very little teaching, they actually get done? By trying to get 30 kids in one room who have no idea what common courtesy or respect is anymore?

Teachers are tools of the state now just like the police Force, the education system wants to remove masculinity from society and jts obvious

Sure but I'm assuming they're both younger, correct? We do have massive issue with teachers becoming jaded by the system and they stop putting forth the effort they once applied. I've attended two colleges, one community college, and I noticed that the young teachers all had passion, but the older teachers were only passionate at about a rate of 1 in every 10. And 80% of my teachers were older. The issue with tenure is that when a teacher becomes tenured, you lose the ability to remove the bad teachers. Its the same complaint we have with the police; not all police officers are bad, but the bad ones stay on the force in perpetuity, causing far more problems than they should. No one is arguing "All teachers are bad." The argument is, "Why are we removing the ability to remove bad teachers from their role?"

I agree with her one hundred percent. In Canada our healthcare workers are like she described. They don't have incentives to come up with solutions, and they are lazy unless you're doing in front of them.

​@@mr.doctorcaptain1124this is why socialism and communism always fail as the reasons you mention.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 "We do have massive issue with teachers becoming jaded by the system and they stop putting forth the effort they once applied" - Well first off [Mr. Labowski voice] 'that's like your opinion man'. Second, it seems to me based on your statement, that the teachers aren't the problem but the system they are forced to operate within that makes them 'jaded'. "Why are we removing the ability to remove bad teachers from their role?" - ??? This was never mentioned in the video and where is the ability to remove teachers being removed? You can remove bad teachers unless they have tenure, which I don't think applies to K-12 education, but could be different depending on the state. Even tenured professors can be removed.

@david There are people who do not know what else to do and get into teaching.

​@@amandaa3713woooooow, how long did it take you to come up with this profound thought, Amanda?? 🤦‍♀️

They work long hard hours and have to put up with horrible kids and parents and you make fun of the fact they like their summers off??? They have to do registration Parent teacher meetings Grading paper So the longer hours in the week since it's not 9-5 job get reall

Yay actors opinions on things they don't know about

​@@merc9nineevidently Matt does know what he's talking about...His Mother was a teacher! 😮

@@aliwalker7667 which makes him biased and completely unobjective. Nice one.

@@aliwalker7667 The journalist's question was legitimate, and he answered in a biased manner. He was 100% correct when speaking about some teachers, but teachers are not a monolithic group anymore than any group is. You have good teachers and bad teachers. That was my experience in K-12, an college. It's literally the reason Rate My Professor existed. For instance, I had some professors that were super passionate about teaching their subject. I had a couple that came to class completely unprepared. One literally left her things in her car, and instead of taking a little time to go get them, she chose to wing the class, and it was horrible. So yes, having teachers meet a standard to retain employment is legitimate. Tenure is not actually a good thing. As a parent, I'm tired of people claiming it's always the parent's fault. Not even close to true in most cases, and I pointed that out to my step-daughter's principal. As I told her, she knew first hand that I did not side with my daughter against the teachers when it came to her behavior. However, the teachers weren't even using the tools they had available to them to keep me and my wife informed as to what her assignments were, and when they were due. You think being a teacher is hard? Try being a parent, when your child has something in writing that tells how a project is to be done, and then your child tells you on Friday evening that the teacher changed something about the project. As the parent you want your child to succeed, so you now have a choice, listen to the child, or go by the instructions. You check the school website and the section devoted to that class, and the calendar for the assignments, test/quiz schedule, etc. has NOTHING on it. So you tell the child to do it according to the written instructions, which then causes the child to fail. Now you as the parent are the A-hole. Why? Because the teacher didn't keep the parents in the loop using the tools available to them. I was back in college again, pursuing a different degree, and these kinds of tools were being utilized by the professors. I was never under any misunderstanding as to what the schedule was, what was due when, and what the requirements were. It even broke down what was required to achieve an A, B, C, etc. So I reject the idea that it's always the parent's fault. No it is not. In some cases, yes. In most cases, no.

I remember...ha ha ha ha

Yeah, it’s shitty pay but at least you get three months off in the summer.

He’s smart in real life? As opposed to what? 👀
