Agreed with you. This movie, Coach Carter, Gridiron Gang, and Remember the Titans are the best documentary movies. Hilary Swank, Samuel L Jackson, Denzel Washington and The Rock did an amazing job reuniting their students and players in their respective roles.
Some of us tried. I was a mental health instructor sent special visit once a year. I had to become a whistleblower. Still am being silenced. Some of us do care and are still rooting for you.
To the Freedom Writers and Mrs. Gruwell,wherever you are, I want to let you know I read your book, the Freedom Writers Diary, and I watched the movie, and you guys are such inspirations to me. I was moved by everything you guys have done to spread hope and let your voices be heard. You are such an inspiration to all!
I had a teacher like her. Mrs.Boardwine. I will literally remember her name to the day I stop breathing. She was always pushing me to my best. I visited her classroom everyday, always told her all my issues, always told her what was going on. The reason I did this was because she always listened. I always tried to make her life easy and I always did my work. She knew me better than my own mother. She’s on my list of people I look up to. My junior year I moved schools, on my last day, which was the day before homecoming, she threw me a going away party. The day before I previously wrote her a letter explaining how she’s made me felt and how she’s impacted my life. Then when everyone left the going away party because of class change, I stayed behind to clean up, I didn’t care if I was going to be late to my next class. She gave me a letter back, one explaining how she was so proud of me of becoming the person I am. It made me cry. On the note she wrote, “This isn’t a goodbye, this is a see you later”.. the next year I tried open enrolling to a school 30 minutes away, they would never answer my calls, always put my mom on voicemail.. so I went to her to go to the superintendent to let me come back. And it worked. I then came back to the school, and continued on my schedule with her. Always seeing her before class. I got her a gift and it said “Good teachers teach, Great teachers inspire” At the end of the year I told her I was the first kid in my family to graduate and she hugged me so tightly. I will never in my life forget her.
I only had one teacher who saw I was failing and had a sit down with me . I started breaking down crying to her about my living situation and family issues . She went as far as to get into contact with social services and offered me a place to live with her when she had just gotten married . I declined because I wasn’t going to ruin her honeymoon phase with her husband but I’ll never forget that woman till the day I die ❤️
Diane Threatt massive changes in the way on how I looked at life. He pulled me out from a certain life and made me want to have goals in my life and to be someone. To leave my finger print in the world by helping others. He was and still my source of inspiration and motivation. I want to motivate people around me like he motivated me. hence, my thesis in MSc. degree was about motivation to be able to reach to that point.
I remember every math teacher I ever had in school failed me and it discouraged me from following my dream in engineering and on top of that I would face bullying for simply asking questions and the teacher never knew how to answer my questions until.... it came down to one teacher in my junior who believed in me and would chase me down the hall to do my homework and she wouldn't let me go until I got it right. I thank her I have super exceed everyone who doubted me and I went up to calc 3 in college and will be graduating in biochemistry this may. Thank you ms.nyugen
My teacher in high school did a whole curriculum on this movie. She did similar steps as this teacher and didn’t explain why or what she was doing but it made it amazing!! After the end of the year she put the movie on and it truly impacted us 100%. Absolutely loved this and always remember.
i love how she treats ever student as if they were her own children she doesnt care whether theyre black,white hispanic, thry were her children who treated them wit love n respect
i am really bad at math unless explained thoroughly. I remember once i came up to my math teacher and i told him i am stupid and he told me "Never say that, you are better than that." Ill never forget the feeling i had he made me feel proud of my failure because i realized that if a teacher said that i have hope. i wanna make this comment to salute him and to give a toast to all the teachers out there who truly are a teacher! Thank u Mr. Brown
Only had one teacher that gave a care about me and made sure when I came to school and I had dookie braids straight to the back she would undo them and do my hair all up pretty and made sure I had better clothes she brung in some from home and gave them to me. Once I told her that my grandma had a problem w her doing my hair all nice she would do it at school and then do it back before I left 😂 I loved her then I met her kids and started spending a night at her house 🤷🏾♀️ ms.erica made me feel loved ❤️ came to my prom send off and my graduation send off. People don’t know how much kids remember and I remember till this day at 23.
Never was good in school never felt smart enough to make it. Switched to a vocational school and started taking paint and paint less dent repair classes. Graduated last year and that shop teacher who stuck with me for 4 years offered to take me and the family out to celebrate. I’ll never forget that man and everything he taught me
I had a teacher in high school, she was mean she was horrible and tough and the best teacher I ever had. I’m 100% convinced she is the reason I graduated saying she did not want to see me next year. And she will never forget me.
My English teacher was amazing like this, I was the quiet girl with few friends and she made me believe in myself when I was a kid, truly got me through some hard times where I didn’t believe I was worthy.
We need more teachers like this. I've been fortunate enough to have wonderful teachers that have opened my eyes like her and I am forever grateful for the impact they've made on me
@@yashtalaulikar3727 if you watched the movie, then you would have seen that she took 2 additional jobs to buy her students material and that her love life suffered that she ended up alone
My 8th grade English teacher He used to be like this, everyday he would always say "tomorrow is a new day to make account and how you living?" he would always be there for all of us he was the one teacher that actually cared about us.
😢uuuggghhh i watched this movie in school and i about cried. Touched me on the heart, such an inspirational movie. I will never forget it. I will walk out into the world and i will remember this movie forever. In other words, this movie changed the way i saw things. I honestly believe this was the most truthful most amazing most life changing thing I have ever seen. To the actors/actresses and creators of the movie: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️💕
I went to a middle school where there was were a few higher crime rates than the district I originally lived in. My mom was a teacher there, and I got to see first hand the impact she had on her students, sort of similar to the way Mrs. G was with her kids. My mom fought to stay with them all the way until they left for high school, and by the time 8th grade was over, she'd had a bunch of drawings and letters from her kids detailing how much she meant to them. Even the ones that didn't like her that much ended up having some respect for her because of her teaching methods and personality; stern, but caring. When I first saw this movie, I actually teared up a little because of the similarities in situations between Ms. G and my mom. I'll forever look up to them both. :)
My 8th-grade teacher made us watch the line scene from this movie. I will still never forget that teacher because I had just moved to the area from a school that resembled the honors classes(demographically). At that school everyone was snobby and I always had one teacher each year that legitimately cared and I thought that was normal. Now I live in a much better environment. Every single person around me is different and in three years I have had no teachers that didn't care about their students. My school is the most diverse in the area and we also have the best test scores and ranks because my principle will only hire people who he believes care about the students.
*We just watched this in school and I really love it! This is now one of my favorite movies, one of the most inspiring movies I've ever watched ♡ all my classmates really loved this movie, and we all are going to cherish this movie 💜*
My middle school ela / homeroom teacher is exactly like Ms.Gruwell . We even read the same exact books that the people in the movie read . My ela teacher always pushed us so that we can succeed and she was like a mother to me. Man I miss her and my middle school class.
I would buy this book but not read it. I'll put it in a case to remind me of how awesome the movie was and how they went through trials to get and earned the freedom they needed to end the violence and chaos they grew up with and on a daily bases.
Heartily gratitude for such awesome Teachers existed in real life. Weather or not blessed with such amazing Teacher... Let's take inspiration from the Movie. Let's feel such compassion & brotherhood about one & all around us. There is always right time to do right things. 👍 Let be all Happy :-)
I had... maybe one or two who ever really cared about their students... i wish i had more... the ones i had are long retired or left... and i always feel like we were robbing the next generation when they missed out on their teachings, advice, pep talks and helps... My history teacher in 9th grade... she made us work for our grade... made us write in cursive... so we knew how to read and write cursive... The next year the school started giving us computers to do our work and homework... my brother never got to practice his cursive... he cant even read it... she was only a history teacher, but she made us practice a life long skill, and made us do hard work for a grade. When she was gone... the work i did felt like it was nothing in other classes because others did only a quarter of the work... and got a better grade than i did when i tried to give it my all because i didnt copy and paste...
The food and drink while they are working on the computers is the most unrealistic thing here. No school I've ever been to would allow food in the computer lab
I had teachers like these. They weren’t always this vocal. They were often silent. But they always encouraged. And because of them, I’m a doctor today. A big thank you to all of them :)
They had this raw energy they were using it into negative thing and as teacher she turned that into positive, she gave them purpose and relate their life with holocaust survivors
Why the hell you use the word "forcing" is it because you dont have any idea of the hood life? Or you just find any thing school related that big of a deal
All schools should mandate the scene with the line in all their classes at the start of each school year. There are so many students who are so alike in ways they aren't even aware of, and I just wonder if that scene started being done in ALL our schools, how many of them would have their lives changed? How much of the constant bullying would come to an end? how many suicides might be prevented just by showing the students just how alike they actually are to their peers?
How can the body Not turn around the soul, Which looks like a sky with torches? O beauty! The attraction point of my compass like soul. Who is the beauty of the land? I am beyond illusions.
My health teacher in the 7th grade was like this. She told me I was special and I knew she meant it from her heart. I will never forget it.
Gizelle Blanc if you’re special everyone is special witch would make no one special
Jahiem Satterthwaite we are all special in our own ways
@@godspeed7986 I think the right way to put it is that we all have the potential to be special.
Special Ed
Weird that she did that while talking about chlamydia and the reproductive system
They felt loved and important which is the most important thing... She gave them a deeper sense in life. And this is the best role of Hilary Swank.
Agreed with you. This movie, Coach Carter, Gridiron Gang, and Remember the Titans are the best documentary movies. Hilary Swank, Samuel L Jackson, Denzel Washington and The Rock did an amazing job reuniting their students and players in their respective roles.
why couldnt my teachers be like that :(

Some of us tried. I was a mental health instructor sent special visit once a year. I had to become a whistleblower. Still am being silenced. Some of us do care and are still rooting for you.

Lol that made me tear up a bit

You yourself, with your gentle, grateful heart, are an inspiration.
I had a teacher like this once. Not that I was a violent gang-member, but that teacher really mattered. She was amazing. It's people like her we need.
I only had one teacher who saw I was failing and had a sit down with me . I started breaking down crying to her about my living situation and family issues .

Gave me goosebumps. Beautiful film
I wish I could have the track from this i.e. the piano song
She is a nice teacher i love this movie so much
The privilege I have in class to use a computer and all this technology, I love it and I don’t take it for granted.
One of my all time favorite movies
Such I wonderful movie I really wish I had a teacher like this
can someone download the whole movie. favorite movie ever
FREEDOM WRITERS seems like a fantastic flick, pity one can only see excerpts of it
I remember watching this 😭
This isn't the ending? Where's the part where she drives up to all of them like at a park or something and then she says that she's with them?
Love this movie. Favorite part of the movie
Ich bin froh, dass einige meiner Lehrer an mich geglaubt haben. Daher werde ich diesen Lehrern immer dankbar sein ❤️

I had a teacher, Ms. Shonte, who was very decent. My grammar teacher, Ms. Greer, was good as well. I have excellent grammar because of her.
If teachers were like this kids wouldn’t be so depressed in school and kids would bond more
such a good movie!

I had a teacher kind of like this sophomore year. then I dropped out junior year LMAO

Why the hell you use the word "forcing" is it because you dont have any idea of the hood life? Or you just find any thing school related that big of a deal
Modern teachers don't realise how important is therapeutic communication.
just noticed the singer mario is in this movie lol

Yeah because bully in school wouldn't interested.
Whats the name of the song playing?
If only my English teachers were like this
Bruh one my teachers say we're worthless
I want her to be my teacher💙.
