She came to interview Matt Damon, Will Hunting showed up. 😂
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!
What a disrespectful view of actors and teachers. I’m glad he put her in her place, but in a precise, educated, and respectful manner. Proof you don’t have to get ugly and loud to win an argument.
Awesome to hear people defend teachers and call out this crap
I'm from the UK & 53 now, but as a kid aged 13, I was heading off the rails, teachers disliked me and I had had a big run in with the law... The toughest/strictest teacher in the school "Mr Williamson" took to me to his office, and talked to me, like a father, and someone who could see my trajectory and cared.... That man changed my life,when no-one else gave a shit...I knuckled down and ended up at College, then University etc etc... One great teacher can mould a life, While I thanked him when I left school, he'll never know exactly what he did that day.. Thanks Sir ❤️
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.
The face he makes when he realises what she’s getting at 😂
“Gotcha” question detected🤣🤣
Who is she. Sounds like a qanon question
@@MrBud85"Reason" is a libertarian publication/media outlet that wants to privatize everything.
Yeah, that "oh one of these people" gazes! You can see he even feels insulted at the stupidity of the question. "You think _job insecurity_ is what makes me work hard? Bish I'm on another level because I *love* this shit"
@@extantsanity Indeed! What an INSANE preface to her equally insane question. His restraint is only superseded by his acting talent.
Im a teacher and there are things money cant pay. When you see a child's face finally understanding something that was really hard for him/her.. It's priceless. And that's why I teach.
❤
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.
The reporter seems to not know Matt Damon has a high IQ. Watching him listen intently and respond so eloquently was a joy.
So he's saying he's a good actor because he loves it but then what does that say about all the other actors that aren't good but do love it? There are lots of singers that are horrible that love it. If you actually wanted a job you might take vocal lessons as a singer. It sounded to me like he threw a bunch of stuff that didn't go together in a pot and added big words to sound smart.
If he, who is actually a she (FTM), don't know about schools actually being government social indoctrination centers, then how does a high IQ mean anything?
@@nancypelosi2627 Maybe you're just a dolt. Everyone else seems to grasp what he's saying...why can't you?
@@EnigmaticAnamoly Maybe because I actually listened instead of getting off on multi syllable words.
@@nancypelosi2627Listening is pointless without understanding. You objectively don't understand what he's saying, evident by the fact that you think words with multiple syllables are impressive enough to distract everyone else. That's called projection, you're assuming everyone is just as stupid as you are.
It's great that this celebrity stands up for unappreciated professionals.
The average reading level for adults in America is 8th grade. Maybe so many people shouldn't stick up for them so much, without at least evaluating their performance? When your kid can't read, and the teacher wants to talk to them about their own personal s*x life. Maybe they're not the "real heroes" everyone who blindly sticks up for them keeps saying they are.
80 years of the highest budgets with the worst possible results doesn't exactly indicate that people care so much about their job and are working so hard to do their very best.
@@KFish-bw1om
Are you joking ?
They are literally paid poverty wages ( that huge budget goes to the red tape makers, not the teachers ).
It's a bit hard to teach kids that are taught by SO many parents to ignore education not listen to anyone that knows more.
And they are dealing with kids that have not been given discipline from those that are meant to give it to them ( parents have a responsibility to get their kids ready to learn. Cos not learning WILL end up ruining their life )
Teachers & parents have the most important job for our & their future.
Cos they are gonna be running the country & wiping your ass when you are too old to.
How you have them educated ( science, empathy, social education etc ) decides whether YOU get treated properly, when you are too old to argue.
I don't know how people that don't value kids education, aren't scared of that future.
@@KFish-bw1om that's the school board and your state's reps and governor and the damage of Reagan's administration forward.
@@SeanCC Yeah, "everyone's fault except ours" - the teachers. Like the teachers haven't played an equally, nay more destructive, role in this catastrophe. I went to public school. I know how terrible 98% of the teachers are. In 13 years I probably had enough good teachers to count on one hand.

Celebrities need to all start standing up for controversy baiting other celebs
Matt’s mother was a high school teacher, now retired. He’s always going to defend a teacher.
O!
That makes this reporter even dumber for asking this question.
You deserve more likes. Have another!
Yes my Mother taught for 31 years High school and she loved it, never said she regretted it at all and she’s always running into former students now even though she’s 80 years old 😄
Then she asked the right person to get the insight...and she got it good and proper.
Thank you, Matt. God bless you. I am a teacher who taught preschool, special education in high school & adult school. Teachers get paid less than McDonald’s workers to start and it takes a lot to get ahead. The teacher I worked with was a McDonald’s employee and only quit to become a teacher because her concept for special education was accepted. Our class had everything to teach a student how to live a normal life on their own. We were a community based instructed class and we taught cooking plus classes that would enable a student to get a job. Granted some would never be able to due to their disability. I sacrificed a lot for my students and because our class was low income, I’d pick them up and take them on some of our family fun days just so they could experience new things. I loved my kids. I became disabled from this job and am now struggling but I would not change a thing except me getting hurt. 💜💕❤️🙏🌈🐶🐾🐈 May God bless and watch over all teachers and may they earn what they are worth.
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.
Of all the things you could ask him...what a STUPID question. Yes- the face he makes when he realizes what she's getting at...priceless ❤ I've had teachers completely change the trajectory of my life, and I've been a teacher and paid that forward as much as I possibly could. Your response NAILED IT, Mr. Matt Damon. THANK YOU!!
My sister and niece are teachers and another niece is in college to become a teacher, they do it because they love kids and helping them to learn and encouraging their dreams and telling them showing them a better way. We love and need teachers and we need to really show our appreciation of them through their wages!!
Wow! I always liked him as an actor, but as a 25-year veteran teacher, I now think he’s also a wonderful human!
Damn, it’s nice to hear someone famous say this. Thanks, dude.
I love how a lot of actors are standing up for the country and the people who don’t have a voice… every time I hear one of these actors tell off people like this, it gives me hope for the future. These actors are role models and I hope their actions and their words truly make a difference.
My brother is a teacher, and Matt Damon is right... my brother wouldn't trade his job for anything else. He loves those kids, and they respect him. He's smart, going for his Master's Degree even as we speak. He says it like it is..... "I didn't do it for the money. I'm a civil servant and I take that seriously."
I was in the Army. The pay outrageously sucked for the hours we worked, and again it wasn't about the money, although I will confess later in life money is nice. That's why I don't condone politicians. They aren't civil servants. They serve themselves, yet promote the idea of serving your country to everyone else. They're in it for the money and kick backs from lobbyist groups. They couldn't give a darn about us.
People like my brother actually care about their service to others. Politicians.... if they cared so much about other people they wouldn't have passed N.A.F.T.A. destroying our once self sufficient economy. They look at us from on high and see us as their servants. They see us and think we're beneath them, that we owe them our backs and our lives and just another means to make their bank accounts bigger through taxation without representation, and what's funny to me is that that's what our forefathers were against.
@@therant3837 sad but true… there are some good ones and some that at least do a bit for the people while getting rich but overall, most are pretty pish poor leadership…
@@ChaoticAngelKitten Yeah. You know in all of human history I will say living in America has it's opportunities, even nowadays.... somewhat. We have a history of cruelty, too. No doubt we have our infamy for the slave trade and with the Indians. And of course the Chinese building our railroads. There's no questioning that, however EVERY country has it's dark ages due to wicked leadership past and present.
It's not just that though. People in a thriving nation gain a sense of pride whether it's monetary with material wealth or military might through technology. I will say as a Christian "pride" has definitely taken over certain organizations within the populace, and it's written in the Bible "Before the fall comes pride", however when you have a mass melting pot like America the people will never unite as a whole. That pride extends to skin color (of all the retarded things), class, wealth, ands yes..... like with the LGBTQ who or what you choose to sleep with. You know it's ultimately insulting to even the average intelligence when people romp in pride over such trivial things like it really matters.
God created all of us. God has already written the story of our lives whether we believe in God or not. There's two ways to go.... God or the world, and honestly the world sucks. We see that all throughout human history. Those in power exploit it for their own selfish gains and yes even in the Bible in the Old Testament we see that pride with King Saul and many others. We see that in the New Testament when the pride of the Jews led them to murder our messiah. God created skin color. God allows for class structures where we may not have the same wealth distribution but we're all supposed to use those blessings to help others in need and not just ourselves. Again it's the pride factor that leads to greed and cruelty. I don't know if you're a Christian or not but do you know what the underlying cause of sin is? Pride.
It gives people the excuse to exploit and hurt one another because they don't like their station in life. Dude I'm 45 and I'm poor, man. Yet still I love everyone. Rich or poor it doesn't matter what other people have or don't have because "stuff" doesn't make us. I will admit at one point in time I was very envious of my own family members because they were born...... "smart". I didn't do well in primary school, and I even tried college and that was a failure if there ever was one. But you know what that's okay, man. Being content is still something I'm working on. There are things I want and whether I get to have that kind of a life is up to God at this point and that's okay, too.
I apologize up front bud. I tend to write a lot. Have a wonderful day, now.
@@ChaoticAngelKittenWhy is an actor a role model? He does his job just like anybody else. He becomes famous just because many people watch his moves. There are so many very good actors who are not famous. Are they role models as well?
This is good guy with a really great mind. I appreciate the respect he has for teachers & as acting was his calling, so it is with those that teach. Tbh, it’s an incredibly important job educating & influencing young minds of the future. I respect both teachers & Matt!
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAA @@Nutersquirrels!!
The hilarity in you talking absolute total sh!!!te saying this erudite, intelligent dude, talking undoubtedly factually before the eyes of the thinking world - those that have the ability to think critically & independently - saying YOU think he's talking nonsense as you display your nonsensical gullibility to us all??!? 😂
The only thing in the way of teachers is RepubliCON crazies & evangelical crazies.
Cuckfkinooo
I know right? "I went into teaching for the money" is not a rational take.
This is the same guy who works for a rapist and never said a word about what was going on. You calling this guy a good man says a lot about you
@@Varagh01you became a teacher because you were not intelligent enough to study law become a doctor or an engineer. Like most people who work for the government you did it because you are overpaid for doing a terrible job and you get your pension. You are not smart enough to get out in the free market and compete
You could tell by his facial expression early on he was getting on fire.
I have always liked him. He’s never struck me as out of touch, he always comes off intelligently and he lays low.
He’s great.
Exactly. I don’t believe I’ve ever had a teacher who wasn’t passionate about teaching. Today, I respect my teachers more than CEOs that get paid 1.2Mil a year.
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.
Wow, that's the most respectful way to tell someone they are disrespectful and rude
Definitely not disrespectful and rude for asking a perfectly reasonable question. If you can’t see that then you’re pretty brainwashed into knee jerk siding with the teachers and the unions.
... By being diarespectful and rude?... And actually agreeing with her?
@@muaddib930you're so biased to understand what you WANT to understand from things 😂 it's mind boggling. No he literally wasn't agreeing with her. Try again.
@@muaddib930He didn't agree with her at all? He also wasn't rude? She wants to take tenure away from teachers. He thinks that's stupid. It is. I'll be rude, you're an idiot that can't even comprehend a minute long video.
Gf is a pediatrician and get paid terrible money. She's lost so much and put her health on the line for a job she doesn't get any respect. She loves her job and I can't figure it out cause everyday it sounds awful
This was amazing to watch because i could literally see the wheels turning in his head to respond but he STILL gave her the opportunity to ask the question before responding. His response was articulate and firm without being rude. Loved this.
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).
Teaching isn't a glamorous job. It's the kind of job you enter into because you're passionate about it and those you will teach.
Either because you're passionate about it, or you can't get anything better paying. I've known both.
I subbed for a few weeks. I couldn't cut it as a teacher, but I did for a moment feel the reason that teachers become teachers. When all the stuff around the edges falls away and for a few minutes you get to actually teach, it's a beautiful thing.
His mom's a teacher ❤ I love how much he supports teachers
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.
I love Matt Damon. He is never on the news for bad situations and keeps his life private. Loves his wife and kids. Don’t mess with my Matt Damon lady.
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
I love the fact that she understands neither actors nor teachers ... and he schooled her. And us.
This woman needs to be reminded that she has HER job because teachers took the time and effort to teach her, even tho she seems to think she knows everything.
She asked the son of a teacher and author for his opinion. ❤ She didn’t do her homework!
You have done your homework.
Anyone who became a fan of his after watching Good Will Hunting knows the screenplay was inspired by his own time at Harvard. This alone should have made her second guess this line of questioning.
yeah, she was never gonna get a good quote for her story, the question was pretty much "teachers don't want to teach, they are just lazy, unless they get 20 mill dollars like you Matt, then they might like it again", she wasn't even a bit concerned about the poor salary and long hours that teachers had, not to mention all of the shootings, she wasn't trying to present the situation from both perspectives, she was trying to write the article from the point of view that was trashing the teachers
So now she's being SCHOOLED !!!!!.‼️🤔🤨🫣😀👏👍🙏💯 🎀..
@@marilynwaaldijk_howell1320 i was waiting for this and you delivered
‘my boy’s wicked smart’
Smaaht*
There’s the one we came for 👌🏻
Your boy is a moron. There was so much stupidity demonstrated in this little clip, it's actually astounding. I mean, long hours? Teachers get 180 days off a year. 🥴
Your boy should stick to wearing clothes someone else selected, while standing where someone else tells him to, while reading lines someone else wrote, in a manner someone else tells him to.
I love this answer. Ha
When you are incentivized to perfom better for more rewards...you dont, according to this idiot.
Love Matt Damon!! It’s so nice to see someone in Hollywood that “gets it”. He is extremely intelligent and articulate. He also has a lot of common sense. I have been a fan of his since he called out Minnie Driver for her statements about child molestation being equivalent to inappropriate groping at the workplace.
I taught with the sister of a musician you would all recognize. Even after a heart attack, she came back to teach. Not for the "shitty" salary, but for the joy, the need to teach. We are a special breed. We were born to teach. It is what we do.
There are 3 things i’m waiting for, the Epstein List, deadpool 3 and the name of the musician you’re talking about
I taught for 27 years. I loved it and I was paid well. I took work home on weekends and stayed at school late during the week to finish my work. I retired in 2017 and I still dream that I'm in school teaching. I miss it.
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.
Man, I like this actor. He values education and honors those in that profession.
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? 😂😂🤬
100percent! Our teacher's work really hard. I couldn't do it. I'm so thankful for the people out there who will. ❤
As a an educator, I approve this message wholeheartedly. Teaching is too difficult to do unless you're passionate about it.
Matt demonstrating his intelligence. Just honesty, no fluff. Respect.
"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

@@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..
Thanks, Matt. You made my 30+ years feel better.
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
I’m a retired elementary school teacher. My favorite moments are when college students contact me and thank me for something like said that got them on the right track. One of them: “You are who your friends are. Choose your friends carefully!”
He's 100% correct! A teacher wants to inspire youth to learn!!!
My mom is a teacher. She has LITERALLY put her blood sweat and tears into her job. She has dedicated herself so much that she ended up sick in the hospital because she was worried her kids needed her. We ALL need teachers.
@@chilipep4438 I'm sure teachers get hurt, cry, and physically exhaust themselves over their careers -- and do so willingly. I too know teachers (intimately) for which all those things are true. LITERALLY.
Do not pre-suppose you know the life experiences of strangers. Ask questions first before making assertions.
@@SeanLumly take your own advice. Acting like a teaching job is actually comparable to jobs that actually require sacrifices is straight up pathetic. Highly recommend you people work a hard laborious job if you complain this much about the easy ones.
SAME
@@chilipep4438 Nice strawman. I'm not comparing teaching to anything -- read my post again. I _AM_ saying that teaching can be demanding work.
@@SeanLumly Which part recess or field trips. Don’t forget 2 months of summer vacation, multiple weeks off for EVERY holiday. Must be so hard for teachers. How many of them end up with PTSD again?
A teacher’s passion makes a world of difference in the life of a young student.
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
Thanks to Matt for standing up for people doing a difficult job under extremely challenging conditions with no budgets! And thanks for challenging that reporter's extremely limited views. Too many people feel that others have it easy. Until we walk in another person's shoes... . Generalized thinking is the problem here. Let's approach every person, life and situation with respect and compassion. Who knows? It might make the world a much nicer place to live in!
You have to love Matt Damon’s insight to teaching. A really hard job with great rewards and a lot of stress. Many teachers today have to work a second job to pay their bills.
He gets full marks for maintaining his cool while defending his mom & every other educator in this country.
Good job, Matt.
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.
My high school biology teacher inspired me for life. The way she taught so enthusiastically and was so darn forgiving. I once got suspended for 2 weeks bc I made a bad decision, but I was a good kid, and she saw that in me. she worked so hard with me that I was ahead of the students that actually went to school for those 2 weeks. That woman will forever be honored and admired in my mind, and I’m sure a ton of other people.
That’s awesome!!!
I didn't come here to cry lol 🥲
I've had some really bad teachers and some really good ones. The good ones are the only reason this country hasn't fallen apart completely. They're the only good adult example some children get. God bless the majority of teachers that do care.
Does he age?
my HS human bio teacher also, shoutout to Mrs. Packington!!!
I love his body language when he answers her. He turns and faces her head on and does not back down from his answer 🥰
I love his answer here. Matt Damon just became my favorite actor!
As a former educator of 26 years, thank you Matt Damon! I loved teaching kids. All 26 years were grades 6-8. It was awesome!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Most "journalists" come from privileged families these days, so they don't understand working out of love or duty.
These people ask such questions because they come from privilege so don't understand working for love or duty.
Dunno what he's talking about with shitty salaries though. All my teachers were on about 80,000 a year and that's public schools. I think the lowest pay for a qualified teacher is with the much younger children. But they are still on like 60k a year. It's not a shitty salarie, it's also not a difficult job. The most difficult part is dealing with shitty kids that are a result of bad parenting. The job itself is pretty easy. I taught my fair share of classes WHILE in highschool. At like 15 and 16, so for a grown adult to do it must be easier than ever was for me..
@@silenttitan416 80,000 dollars a year??? Are you talking about public schools or universities? If it is the latter, this value makes sense. Here in Brazil, a public school teacher earns no more than 60,000 Reais per year, which in dollars would be around 12,000 per year.
As a 22 year teaching veteran, I thank Matt for so eloquently articulating the heart of a teacher. Teaching is a gift and a passion.
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.
Good for you Matt for speaking out and setting this reporter straight!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Look at his mouth as he speaks…he’s genuinely angry, hurt, passionate about this topic. This man is brilliant and talented and just ….perfect!
My best friend wanted to be a teacher all her life. She went to college for it. Then ot didnt work out and she ended up running a cafe in a hospital. She eventually got an opportunity to teach multiple classes to 4th graders after 10 years of looking for a position. She took an almost %50 pay cut to do it. Its been 2 years and ive never seen her happier. I literally cried once knowing how happy she was to live her dream.
I'm a teacher that works those long hours and his words were perfect and made me start to cry because I do work so hard because I love being a teacher.
Thank you for investing in our future!
Every teacher I've ever had that made an impact on me makes up a part of who I am to this day. What you do matters so much.
You get two months vacation and the fucking teachers Union wanted to be paid for doing absolutely nothing at home during covid. Sure there are excellent teachers who care, but most do not
My best friend and mentor was a teacher. Loved it. ALWAYS promised if he became the teacher who sits in the teachers lounge complaining about kids(he snapped once, one of his kids, a Wrestler...he was also a coach and a great one). Teachers were complaining he was a dirt bag, missing school. The kids Dad had killed himself and his Mom was getting black out drunk every night. Only Ted knew this, but he finally had enough and went off on the teachers bitching.
Anyway, he was at the highest paid district in the State, they had a 90M rainy day fund, 16 kids in each classroom...and they decided they'd start firing teachers. He had 20 years in and wasn't enjoying it anymore. So he retired. This is one of the smartest guys I've known and voted Teacher of the Year 2 of the 4 years I was in HS.
He was also a 2X National Champ College Wrestler, so kids respected him because of that and he was laid back. But he just got tired of it. The negative teachers, the school going to 30 kids for 1 teacher(they're back now) and watching them slowly fall from where they were.
He was making ~90 a year and he had 5 more years and he'd have retired at 75% of that. And teachers at that point start being assistant coaches, doing whatever to add 3-5K for this job, 3K for another to make their last 3 years salary average more. He retired for 50% that he'd get in 15 years.
There ARE a lot of teachers who do it for the job security and the pay check. He did it because...he didn't know what else to do after College and he found he loved it...and then left when he didn't. He's what people would call an "Alpha," Male, but he's also smart enough to hate that term. Sigma is the term I like to use. Happiest guy I know.
He got me interested in History and is the reason I wrestled at the same College, got a History degree...then talked me into law school.
On behalf of every kid who had a teacher that made them feel that they were worth the effort. Thank you.
Thank you Matt Damon . I retired after 25 years of teaching . ❤️
Matt is absolutely correct, and I'm so glad he educated that reporter about a noble profession.
There are many professions where people do a job for a different reward than money, which is why it's called noble. Teachers should be rewarded more than they are. They inspire and cultivate intelligence in our future through our children. That's gold.
The guy is my hero. How can anyone be so honest and mindful in everything he does.
Truth.💯 Math teacher here. Love to watch students think about math. Hard work. Hard work, people are not going into the profession.
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
Thank you Matt Damon you are so right many teachers work far past their age of retirement because they love to teach.
It’s not the same, but I was a TA for a calculus class in college. I had a student who really struggled with Math but he wanted to learn. He showed up every Tuesday and Thursday for my office hours and stayed the whole time to ask questions about the homework and quizzes for the week. He showed up to every test review. At the end of that semester he came up to me, shook my hand, and thanked me for everything I did for him that semester. It was my job so there was no need for him to do that, but it was the single most gratifying experience of that entire year for me. I’ll never forgot how much it meant.
Even in a perfect world, where teachers are revered and paid in the highest regard, they should STILL be there because they want to teach, and should be incentivized by the act of teaching, not the money. That’s what a good teacher makes. Love the passion Matt.
Of course. But we need a good salary just like everyone else with our education. I knew a lot of really good teachers who left the profession because they had to feed their families.
@@katherineweber8955 teachers and education have long been underpaid and under-funded..my mom was a music teacher at 3 schools and was so happy but then the city cut her position and she became a first grade teacher.She was a beloved first grade teacher but never as happy as she was a music teacher..which had a domino effect on the family and all our futures.All because of greedy local politicians .

Expertise should be regarded highly.
Whatever your career choice is you can't do right by the people you serve if you're only in it for the money or even prestige.
Wrong.

That's nice to hear. Thanks for sharing!

@@elizabethwitt2621 Oh no!, THE PATRIARCHY!!! Moronic.
As a teacher who is retiring, I thank you for saying positive things about teachers. Most people don't understand how hard and relatively thankless the job is. We who teach do so because we love trying to open young minds to the world in the hope that they will be able to attain their dreams for the future. 😊😊😊😊😊
Great job Matt Damon! Way to promote education and educators!!
Need more of this in The USA!
Wow, way to go Matt Damon. You said it perfectly. That reporter just got educated!
I don't know how it is in America, but here they get a good salary and a full time teaching job is 22 hours a week. So he would be completely wrong in his logic.
@@glp.1337 And where is here?

@@glp.1337 Teaching in America was a decent job. They pay is ok and the hours are normal. They get the summer off too.

Teaching in America is a terrible job now, because of the danger of violence, and also you can't teach anymore, it is indoctrination now.
@@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.
As a teacher,with a shitty salary, I say Thank You Mr. Damon.
You get it.
What I really enjoy doing is watching young people realize that they are capable of accomplishing great things!
As a teacher, do you know any teachers that should have been fired a long time ago? I know one that makes 115,000 per year and only works 9 months. He is also a groomer…not fired though, thank goodness for the union right?
There are great teachers, then there are people who just wanted a job where they could have summers off. Don’t expect actors to understand or come to your rescue.
those that can, do. those that can't teach. I went to good quality public schools and found most of the teachers to be just plain weird.
Since when do teachers have a shitty salary? They have good benefits, every holiday off and a three month vacation in the summer! Try logging or fishing or farming and then explain to me how tuff teaching is!
@@donyandresen8063 yes totally agree and they do no work long hours. High school day is 9-3:20, lunch is from 12-1 and none of my teachers ever taught 4 periods in a day. Usually 3, one day 2 periods.
Not Gen Z's, they aren't capable of anything. All they do is virtue signal and support terrorist rights and when asked they dont even know what they're protesting for.
So glad to hear him say that. It's true, all the teachers I know love to teach.
His mom was a teacher, so he knows exactly what teachers go through.
I am totally impressed with Matt not being afraid to speak his mind intellectually and respectfully. As if we needed more reasons to love him!❤❤❤
Intellectually dishonest.

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.
There are a lot of great teachers, but I know several friends who are teachers and dialing it in every day.
My Mom was a teacher for 33 years. The homework every single night for her, after dinner, after dishes.....every night. Then during summer vacation, it was more college and more degrees...until I was 42 ....my mom was STILL learning.....yes she did EARN her doctorate.

Thank you, Matt, for recognising that teachers work really long hours. It's not just the time spent in front of students. So many people don't see that.
People who think teachers only work 8a-3p are the same people who think teachers have it easy bc they have 'a whole summer off'! 🙄
@@blockhartinabox How many times have we heard "Short hours - long holidays"? 😱 My sister thought the same for years until her daughter took up teaching. 😄

@@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.
You go Matt, I was a Paraprofessional in High school Special Education. I don’t know how the teachers did it. Half the time they used their own money for supplies for the kids. They worked on teaching them life skills and setting them up in a job program. They truly loved those kids, I did too. Low paying jobs, but the kids are worth it. Thank you for standing up for educators.
"Reason" is notorious. The question, if you could call it that, sums up their outlook.
Mr. Damon had their number.
Being a teacher I appreciate him making a statement like that.

Thank you so much! I have been teaching for 23 years and still work very hard. This is a profession that you take home with you. You don’t clock out and go home. We constantly think of ways to help our students and change how we teach to be effective for all types of learners. Some students are exposed to things they should not be exposed to. Maybe the interviewer can shut off her feelings, but caring teachers worry about their students.

Thats a dumb question. You ask "do you know any shitty cameramen who dont try because they have job security?

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.
You go, Matt Damon. Teachers are important to society and should be treated like professionals
as long as they are actually teaching academics and not allowing kids to shit in a litter box in the corner of the classroom... too many of these freaks in our schools today
These days, not so much. The number of actual good teachers vs leftists pretending to teach is shrinking. Sadly, there are very few real teachers left and I'm so glad my kids are grown and my grandchildren are home schooled.

@@Dirtbag-Hyena 🙄oh brother...there are just as many maga teachers as there are liberal teachers. Get over yourself.
Same with stay at home parents. It's a real job, not "doing nothing".
Thank you Matt, for defending teachers. ♥️ Both of my parents were great teachers! My father was head of secondary Art Education for 30+ yrs. and Mom taught 4th grade for 30+ yrs. I watched them work long hrs., stay at school if needed, grade papers at home….just to have some time at home….., and work 2nd jobs during the summer. They touched soooo many lives! Even after they both retired, they had so many students that called, wrote, or even came to see them, thanking them and still to this day. My Mom’s mailman was her 4th grade student. He would ALWAYS chat with her, make sure she was OK, and when he retired he even sent her a beautiful letter and flowers, thanking her for all she did! So yes, teachers teach bc they LOVE TO TEACH! I swore I’d never get in the education system bc of how hard it was for them, then I became a School Bus Driver for many yrs.! The BEST job I ever had! No bad kids ever, just kids that made bad choices! ♥️
I don't think that Matt Damon knows too many teachers 😂.

@@yippee8570Yeah 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.

Now they use things like DEI to get away with outright racism.

@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.
@@yippee8570 I think you need to dig way deeper into that statement.
Matt is right on... I've taught 24 years and hear that line about tenure all the time. Believe me, teachers are up against it on a daily basis and almost all bring the right energy, passion, and professionalism. You know what affects my job the most as a middle school teacher? It's pervasive student apathy, thanks to smartphones, and increasingly poor student attendance.
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.
Respect to you, Matt. Thank you and all those teachers trying to make a difference in our students' lives.😊❤
Teachers are very important in society they are responsible in molding the minds of our children who are the future of this country or any country for that matter, they become teachers because they love the job, in this country we do t give them enough credit it’s a hard job and we do t pay them enough

No, he's not. He's completely wrong. He is honestly claiming that all teachers do it for the love of the game. Every single person in school knows multiple tenured teachers that are absolute garbage. There is indeed no incentive for teachers to do well, and as a result, there are countless terrible teachers that have no incentive to perform, and administrations that have no way to get rid of bad teachers.

@@BigMikeTheGuyWe don't have tenure in the UK, and the sh1tty pay, long hours, over-accountability, disinterested/overly entitled students whose every poor behaviour choice was excused by Mummy etc still exist here. We do, however, have a huge problem with recruitment and retention as the reality of the job sees most leave within 3 years. The government (in power for 14 years, whose only contribution to education was to cut wages by 20% in real terms through pay freezes etc and cut funding to the bone) do not avail themselves of the state funded schools, and are absolutely not expected to meet the consequences of their actions. Their little Jimmy won't be affected by the 2 highly unstable children shoved into a classroom of 30 because all the behaviour units/special educational provision were shut. They termed this move, 'Inclusion.' There's nothing inclusive when 28 out of 30 pupils are struggling to engage in a chaotic environment with zero support staff. Oh, and you can't exclude pupils. LOL. You have to literally adore teaching to be a teacher and I would absolutely step in if a loved one of mine was thinking of undertaking such a life/soul destroying career. No chance.
By disrespecting educators, you do your own children and their peers a great disservice. But then you'll blame the teacher when the seeds of your vitriol come to fruition. Good luck!
