Morning Video: Matt Damon's School Reform Movie
The new movie "Promised Land" looks like it has lots to offer education types, especially those who are critical of the current school reform movement:
Celebrity school reform critic Matt Damon plays a leading role. The actress from "My Sister's Sister" who's not Emily Blunt plays a teacher who is the moral center of the film. And the topic -- whether it's better to "save" small rural towns with natural gas leases (aka, fracking) or to try and help them recover otherwise -- might as well be about school reform. Right?
