Matt Damon, Damoooooooooon.
That Matt Damon piece was horrible. It was nothing more than a hack piece aimed against teachers. Seriously, why does the right wing hate teachers so much?
Would you prefer World Net Daily? Can't get more right wing than that.

Did drugs cause
Rush's deafness?
Limbaugh's doctor: Connection possible
between pain pills, host's loss of hearing
Talk-show host Rush Limbaugh's doctor has spoken out about the possible link between the radio phenom's admitted addiction to pain-killing medication and his having suddenly gone deaf two years ago.
Lord, man POSSIBLE, POSSIBLE, MAYBE, COULD HAVE. All I'm trying to say is that you say IT HAPPENED, and even the sources you cite all say IT COULD HAPPEN and not that it DID HAPPEN.
It is POSSIBLE that that a stray bullet fell from space and killed a guy in his living room, but MORE LIKELY that his wife, with the smoking gun in her hand, with ballistics that matched, did it.
Yikes!

Seriously, that's what you got out of that? Seriously? Why do we hate PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS? Because they are a spoiled union that has turned our kids in to roving morons (didn't Matt Damon say he attended public school - and look at how HE turned out). I know some excellent public school teachers, my wifes mom was one, but that doesn't change the fact that they have no accountability for doing a good job. It's our KIDS we're talking about.
I was yanked from public schools because of how bad they sucked, put into a private school, moved and had to go to public school again for one semester and they wanted to skip me 3 grades because that is the level I was at compared to other kids, my mother wouldn't let them because it would have been too socially awkward to have me that much younger than my classmates. Public schools are shafting kids - sure plenty come out excellent, but those are kids who went beyond what the school did and not the school pushing them to their potential.

Fine Ranger....... who cares if it can be proven if he lost his hearing from it. This is like arguing over a splinter instead of the gunshot.
Rush is a drug abuser who at the same time tells his audience that drug abusers should be in jail.
He's a hypocrite piece of garbage.
How Damon turned out? He's fucking rich and doing just fine. The truth of the matter is public schools suck because they have to teach all students. Including the tards who will never learn. That wastes a lot of time and energy that could be better put on students who are good. The right wing likes to only look at the kids who do bad and blame that on the unions. Truth is the tards just don't get it, you can blame genetics for that. Blaming teachers is just pure BS.
Teachers have ZERO accountability. No incentive to do a good job. There are good teachers and there are good students. There are bad students who will never learn but there are also bad teachers who will never teach...we need to get rid of the bad teachers. But they are protected...
I went to public school and learned pretty much nothing. I had to figure out how to be a good student when I went to college. And thank God I went to engineering school and not liberal arts. You can't argue math but everything in Liberal arts school is up for debate.
I'm no rush apologist. He guy has some problems that turns me off to him. But if he's a drug abuser so is Obama, who himself admits to smoking pot. People do stupid shit and people get addicted to stuff. It doesn't necessarily make them evil or a criminal. I see it in the pharmacy daily. I know pharmacists who have become so addicted they steal it and lose their 120k a year job. It's sad. Many people have abused drugs. We should commend the ones that stop and get help.
As far as teachers go, the problem the right has with them is that they are a bunch of spoiled brats. At the higher level they are partisan idiots that dictate our kids learn stupid and useless material, often from a particular slant. There are good teachers out there just like there are good people of Medicaid, but many have becomE fat and lazy from being spoiled rotten. Still more go into teaching for he summers off and in some cities the gross over payment. My wife is a teacher as are two of my aunts, my mother in law, my brother in law and my father in law is a professor at a state university. I don't think a single one would disagree that our public school system is shit and part of the problem is the teachers themselves. It's like every other government organization. It got too powerful, too spoiled and too protected. It produced what one would expect, lazy and spoiled teachers. There are good hard working ones out there but the unions and bums make it impossible for them to do their job. I see that daily with my wife
Why, why did I click on show post.
The truth of the matter is that when you reward mediocrity you get more of the same. When everyone is treated the same why should you excel. Teachers have no reward system for anything but keeping their head down and passing students. Then getting tenure and fuck it I cant be fired. But I want a pay raise. If teachers were rewarded for their students performance then we would not be paying so much for idiots.
You are someone who I believe was a victim of the public school system.
