      You're absolutely right. I just bought The Freedom Writers Diary recently and it's great, but very personal. It's truly authentic.

      @a.m.g.116 Před 3 lety +5

      Ainz Stainton highly reccomend it. The movie is only 50% of the book because the other 50% is inappropriate. Each diary is anonymous for security purposes, but what you read, you’ll know whose who.

    If only we had more teacher's like Ms Gruell. She broke down all false hope and barriers that other's failed or were scared to deal with. If only you knew teaching was not just teaching, it is about a person's life history, a person's ambitions and a person's future. Faamalosi Ms Gruell, you will leave a massive legacy behind.

  • @jeezthatscocky3144
    @jeezthatscocky3144 Před 3 lety +33

    Giving people, especially impressionable young people, positive guidance. It can really inspire them to be their best self. There is no shame in being born poor. But helping them get themselves out of the poor and dangerous neighborhoods they were born into, that takes a very dedicated and caring Saint. I’m happy for all of them.

    So this is the real Miss G. I just fell in love with her. She is as beautiful as Hillary Swank(cause I love Ms Swank too) This movie changes my way of looking at life. It makes me dream to do something for a change. I cried so much watching the movie. I cried even more seeing the real true characters behind the scenes.

  • @lovemymiyah
    @lovemymiyah Před 4 lety +25

    I've always loved this movie. And I honestly wish all school systems would do this. Give teachers a group of kids that they keep the duration of that childs time at that particular school they can nurture, bond and create this same family structure and sense of comfort Ms.Gruwell did. We preach how kids need consistency so much. Why not? It also gives us a chance to not burn out our teachers. Learning new faces, names, personalities, strengths and weaknesses is a lot I'm sure. Why haven't we applied this? Rant over.

    Please pay public school teachers the same amount as doctors and lawyers. Give free wifi, computer and laptop to every child that can't afford them to close the digital gap. Make grant writing, 3D printing, video editing, authoring and online business, high school subjects. America will be phenomenal when you do that. Evey child will potentially become an entrepreneur and mentors in their neighborhood.

    Teach others to "fish"
    God bless those who help others to help themselves
    Schools need to teach the skills that will enable students to support themselves
    Knowledge without skills is just unused books in a library
    Also find out what interests them and encourage it so they have a reason to learn
