Actor Matt Damon rallied teachers at a march on Washington Saturday, condemning the use of standardize tests to judge the performance of schools, students and teachers. Damon, who starred in films such as “The Departed,” “The Bourne Identity” and “Good Will Hunting,” was part of a crowd that marched on the White House carrying picket signs and chanting slogans such as “Save our schools.”
Damon, whose mother is a teacher, said “As I look at my life today, the things that I value about myself, my imagination, my love of acting, my passion for writing, my love of learning, my curiosity, came from the way that I was parented and taught”.
