Save Our Schools


I just listened to this speech by Matt Damon and it is so encouraging, that I had to share.  I didn't know that his mother was a teacher.  His words are so true and I wish those in power would understand education just like Matt Damon obviously does.  You cannot test how much a child has grown and how much a child has learned.  So many things taught by teachers cannot be tested.  You can test how much math they have learned and the like, but that's not all that teaching is about.  It's not all that learning is about.  

He then went on to defend teachers in this little interview by a reporter who has NO clue.


Thank you Matt Damon, for publicly standing up for us when it often seems the world is against us.
