Message Subject Actor. Matt Damon Defends Claims Against Teachers (His Mom Teaches)
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Teachers were treated like 2nd class citizens in the US for decades. Now that people are loosing their jobs, the teachers are attacked.

TV taught generations that teachers and adults are stupid.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1479239


We didn't need TV to enlighten us to the fact that there are some crappy teachers out there .....just like in every profession. It starts in grade school and goes right up through college level programs.

As for Mr. Damon's assertion that no one would take the job unless they loved teaching,BS. A teaching degree is easy to get, they are in high demand and the pay and benefits in most jurisdictions is pretty damn good. Sure beats working as a nurse (much study and VERY LONG HOURS)or working in a business environment (where you are assessed constantly for you ability to contribute), construction (harsh working conditions and hard labor), retail ( having to deal with customers in a service role. All in all teaching is a pretty good gig. You cant get fired unless you screw a student. You work nine months a year. You are in a command role with your customer.

The guy is out of touch.
