Actor Matt Damon recently spoke out against charter schools but he himself benefited from an alternative school education.
Appearing at a protest against the education reform movement, actor Matt Damon said he sees a "core inequality" when comparing some charter schools with traditional public schools. Then, he said of his own education:
"I moved to Cambridge, Mass., when I was 10 years old because of the alternative schools there that my mother ... really wanted me to go to, and I got in."
Many New York parents would do the same if they had the means. But they don't, so they choose charter schools. Sounds about equal, Matt.
