In both Erin’s and Jamie’s school, there was a fundamental distrust of the students by the faculty and a fundamental distrust of the faculty by the students. This environment led to a disconnect between the faculty’s methods

During the first day of sophomore year, Erin made a party and made her class do a Toast for Change, allowing everyone to express their struggles and what they want to change about themselves. This inspired Eva to not fallow her father saying by always protecting her own rather than telling the truth. This inspired students to continue education regardless of their struggle. At the end, Erin asked her students to write their diaries in book that she named Freedom Writers. Her husband divorces her and Margaret tells her she cannot teach her kids for their junior year. Erin fought that decision, eventually convincing the superintendent to permit her to teach her kids' junior and senior year. The film ends with a note that Erin successfully prepared numerous high school students to graduate high school and attend college that made them the first in their families to do

At first, she claims, she was only “a little mass of possibilities,” but her teacher brought light into her life (1). Her teacher, from the very beginning, was more than just an instructor. She was a positive influence and an inspiration. She taught Keller to communicate and understand the world around her, even though she could not see or hear it. She did not force Keller’s mind to learn; she simply guided it, nourishing it with knowledge at the right moments (7-8). In this way, her teacher made learning enjoyable for Keller by ensuring she did not think of it as an obligation, but as an experience. This goes along with Keller’s belief that a student “will not work joyously unless he feels that liberty is his” (16). A student who feels that she has the power to make her own decisions will enjoy her schooling more than one who feels as if the power is out of her hands. The relationship between Keller and her teacher had a profound impact on the way Keller learned and later lived her life. Even once her school days had passed, she still felt the effects of her teacher’s instruction every day. She even went so far as to say that she felt her teacher’s being was “inseparable” from her own (22). Keller’s unusually intimate connection with her teacher offered a unique perspective on the topic of teacher-student relationships.

My views on this heart moving film would be never to give up in life, and with the right amount of determination you can succeed anything. The film tells us the simple, but moving story with a skilled storyteller's voice. The great importance of their

A key point I determined on how is how education is a continuous process that can come with a lot of challenges. Regardless of the challenges, the process is continuous, and it does not have limits. The essay supports this idea because one of the lessons that David learned is that one can learn at any age as long as he/she has a passion. In the article, the teacher

From the film one can learn the importance of taking chances and making choices. The film also teaches us about disobedience. Are desobidance puts us at risk, but is important to do what we feel is right. The film also teaches the harsh reality's of war and how it can cause men to do terrible

That Mr. MacPherson has grown tired of his job, he thinks that there isn’t much hope in being a teacher and that nothing good has come out of it. His students have drove him to regretting his career choice, that maybe the result of him not being the best teacher and letting the student get to him like they did.

In the second part of the Celebrated Horace Trilogy, Horace’s School, Theodore R. Sizer emphasizes education’s role in Franklin High and how Franklin High’s “civic education” is not of unique quality, for it restricts Franklin High’s students from breaking out of their comfort zone. That comfort zone is being satisfied with the education given and not feeding off of the school’s education to push the limit on success if a limit is even present. A caution that Horace Smith, a veteran English teacher at Franklin High, is trying to disperse through the Board of Education and Franklin High’s community; a caution that becomes evident when Smith critiques the curriculum of Franklin High. In Franklin High, there are “Exhibitions-a portfolio collected

At the start of the movie they are all segregated by rank in the social pyramid, but as it progresses the students talk about their problems in a moment of trust with one another. The princess explains how her parents use her to get back at one another while fighting, the brain tried to commit suicide because of a bad grade, the basket case is a compulsive liar, the athlete can’t think for himself, and the criminal comes from an abusive home. By the end of the movie the group is dancing around and enjoying each other’s company as they broke the segregated barriers and wanted to fit in as a whole. People are still that way; we will still fight for acceptance of others, as it’s human instinct to want to be

“I see it, Scout! I see it¬”. In this essay I’m going to tell you how Scout and I are both getting cheated out of something, and how her feeling is justified. Scout feels like she’s been cheated out of something but doesn’t know what it is. I think she’s being cheated out of her education. She feels this way because of her teacher, Miss Caroline. Her feeling is justified in my opinion, because she deserves to keep reading and learning more things at home. Scout is on a higher curriculum than her class, so she get bored and tired of stuff she has already gone over.

Ashley showed her mom her tests that requested in-depth explanations and serious critical thinking for answers. Frustration and fear crossed Ashley’s face as she struggled with adding details to her short answers and book summaries. Rosa told her teenager, “You need to show your teacher that you fully understand what you read. It helps to pretend like your teacher has never read the story, and it is your job to give your teacher specific details to show her what the reading focused on the

Her eyes scanned the page as if she was learning to read for the first time. The more she looked, the less she understood. How could was she unable to understand something this simple? It was so simple, yet the answers still did not show themselves.The idea of failure was foreign to her, as was confusion. Whenever the teacher set a paper on the desk in front of her, she would complete it with ease. It was what everyone expected of her, and she always lived up to that expectation. That was the norm, until today. For just a moment, panic set in. How could she damage her reputation by asking a question? What would her parents think of her if they knew she wasn’t perfect? As her heart slowed down, she secretly pulled out her notes, making sure

The film Freedom Writers directed by Richard La Gravenese is an American film based on the story of a dedicated and idealistic teacher named Erin Gruwell, who inspires and teaches her class of belligerent students that there is hope for a life outside gang violence and death. Through unconventional teaching methods and devotion, Erin eventually teaches her pupils to appreciate and desire a proper education. The film itself inquiries into several concepts regarding significant and polemical matters, such as: acceptance, racial conflict, bravery, trust and respect. Perhaps one of the more concentrated concepts of the film, which is not listed above, is the importance and worth of education. This notion is

This movie stated how students have pressures from family, coaches, and society to push for the best and nothing less. They want to earn excellent grades and test scores to get into the top Ivy league schools so that they can ultimately get a job where they are earning a lot of money. This movie mentions that children were becoming stressed and suffering anxiety attacks and depression because of all of their workloads. It even mentions the story of a thirteen year old girl who unfortunately committed suicide because the fear of failing was too much for her. Another girl developed an eating disorder because she found her not eating caused insomnia so she could stay up late and study.
