Movie Review - Freedom Writers

When a picture gets sent around the room of a fellow student, she explains to them what they don't really fully understand what is going through for certain. She explains the holocaust to them and just exactly what they went through and just where gangs came from and what they go through now. This breaks down the walls that were up between her and her students about their situation and what giving respect means and something they should do. .
             She finally breaks it down to them about what it truly means to have discrimination and go against people that you feel like don't belong. The students become very interested in what the holocaust is and want to learn more about what it is and what happened. She sees how much these students want to learn and want to grow in their relationships and be able to be seen in a new light. She see the kids as people worth importance and wants to help them out by giving them things that she feels like they deserve. She has no support from her co-workers and they all think she is wasting her time trying to invest in them and their future. Her co-workers blame it on the integration of schools and what once was an A-list school where they had high test scores and things has turned into a reform school because of them.
             It's nice to see that Ms. G doesn't believe in what her co-workers think about the students and really feels like they have a place in the school as well. She decides to do something that will build her classroom community and will help the students understand more about what is going on in each other's lives and clearly see that they can be supporting each other instead of hurting and being mean to each other. They realize that they are all not going through different shit but are all together dealing with the same things. .
             She then wanted to learn more about the students and the struggles that they go through by providing them with journals.
