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.

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 ❤️

She had to be told. Like many in our society, look down on the crucial role Teachers play in every culture. Well done, sir!

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.

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.

The face he makes when he realises what she’s getting at 😂

[veronicajohnson]

Thank you, sir! I taught for 38 years, not because of the money. I know I have enhanced many young lives and instilled my belief that all children need love and support in this environment where precious lives are neglected or abandoned by those that should love & protect them. Teaching is not solely academic.

[amymaccord]

Wow! I always liked him as an actor, but as a 25-year veteran teacher, I now think he’s also a wonderful human!

[joangibb]

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.

[KateCarew]

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.

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.

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!

[karamichael]

I love this. I love to see someone like this, standing up for things that actually matter.

[javagirl]

Matt Damon is so smart, articulate, and has the right priorities. Love him!

[VeeLondon]

Matt’s mother was a high school teacher, now retired. He’s always going to defend a teacher.

[SheriLynNut]

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.

One of my best friends since Elementary school, with a truly blessed intellect. Carried his 4.0 gpa all through High School, didnt drink or smoke. Was our class Valedvictorian, he truly could've been anything he wanted to be. Attended Stanford, studied Sciences, Ocean marine biology, Criminal Law and pre-med. He handled it all, but had zero intention of going into those fields. He knew in Middle School what he wanted to be. And that was to become a History and US Government Teacher. Been doing it for almost 2 decades now, a man i am truly proud to call my friend.

[PixelBaller]

Saw Matt Damon walking around a festival in Australia with his family, without realising who it was I made eye contact, then realised, smiled and nodded and continued on my way.

Everyone else did the same and respected a Hollywood star in a crowd of people. Was amazing to see and I'm sure he appreciated it too.

No point to the story other than saying this dude is humble and a family man and the interview here showed, very switched on and passionate.

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!!
