A Teacher's Perspective on Matt Damon's Reason TV Teacher Rally Interview (l0l)

[AGRP]

Read the comments from the public school teacher's side. Assuming they are teachers or supporters since the channel supports them:

Its worth noting that they cut everything else out of Reason's entire segment.

They wouldn't want people to hear that someone actually suggested spending ONE BILLION DOLLARS PER STUDENT:

I like Matt Damon's 10-dollar-words. "Intrinsically paternalistic". And then he goes on to say "shitty".

Just wait until he discovers the word antidisestablishmentarianism. He'll be using it all the time to impress the girls at frat parties.

And he only thinks teachers get a lousy salary because compared to him, everyone who works for a living does.

There's no need to give any deference to the opinions of these idiots. Acting isn't a profession that requires any intellectual prerequisite and mindless fools like Matt Damon shouldn't even be taken seriously.

Guys, PLEASE tweet @PennJillette, asking him to do a video rebuttal to defend the libertarian reporter! He will 100% do a video on this if a few people ask. I've already sent one.. like this:

A shitty salary... really long hours?

Teachers in my area in their first year, straight out of college, with a bachelors degree, and NO experience start at over $41,000 per year. They get full medical and begin earning retirement shortly after starting... so, "shitty salary"???
Long hours... I don't get off for the summer, two or three weeks at christmas, a week at thanksgiving, a week or so at spring break nor does my work day end at 3pm or so... give me a frikkin break.

Teachers do a job I would not want to do (and I have a teaching certificate)... I don't want to babysit your kids all day (sorry, part of the day). We have to end this perception that teachers are "overworked and underpaid"... its just BULL!

But, let's also be fair here... the "reporter" and her questions are pretty lame and obviously leading. She was trying to trap Damon and she kinda asked for the response she received. Damon's an idiot... but so's the reporter!
And, Matt Damon... doesn't he hang out with Ben Affleck... another intellectual giant?

The irony is that many liberal minds are misguided in asking government to play God thus unconsciously relinguishing their liberty in exchange for the security of an intrinsically paternalistic entity to take care of them. They never look at the gun pointed at someone's head along the way to create big daddy government to take care of us; from each according to his abilities and to each according to his need. Hath the 20th century taught us nothing??
