The Freedom Writers Diaries

I just re-watched an old movie called "The Freedom Writers". I forgot what an amazing movie this was.

No matter what you are doing right now, STOP! Watch this movie. Now. Such an amazing storyline ... and it's true.

What is it about?

@vetguy1991 Kids of different races and nationalities in turmoil with each other and the neighborhoods they live in.

@vetguy1991 And about the teacher who helps them truly see each other and break down the walls between them.

It's a feel-good movie for sure, but it's a true story. And worth watching.

@sarabee1995 My bad I should I should have mentioned her. She really gets them to take a good look at each other.

@Gibbon Yup. Just an awesome story. Not many of us were blessed to have a teacher like her.

@Gibbon Wow, cool story. Yeah, I had a few that impacted the direction of my life. I still go back and say his to a couple sometimes.

@Gibbon
We learned binary math with a board and 8 light bulbs and switches that she made.
We had apparatus like that too! :-)

@ArtieKat We are of the same era but I didn't experience or see any corporal punishment. Suspensions were used even in elementary school.
