Hi Everybody,
I just want to recommend this movie. It is wonderful! It tells it like it is. It also makes you take a good, long look at yourself and how much time you spend at school. I am still struggling with going home at a decent hour. This movie helps me to remember the price teachers pay for not balancing their time. Home is important! Very important.
Jessie, I plan to look up some of those websites you posted to help me with my time management. There just does not seem to be enough hours in the day......
Anyway, I hope you will all watch this movie. Freedom Writers. It is worth your time.

Thanks for the movie review. I attended a training institute last year, and one of the trainers was Erin Gruwell's (?) former professors. She told us about the movie, and it sounded really good. Plus, I think Hillary Swank is a great actor.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessie,
ReplyDeleteYes, I think Hillary Swank is a great actress too. That is neat that you got to meet one of her professors!
You have to see the movie. It really is good.

Okay, I'll definitely check it out.
ReplyDeleteI concur, this is a GREAT movie for encouragement and for that time when you are just about ready to give up on teaching. The movie rates an "A" in my book because it deals with realistic issues of being an inner city teacher and the odds against her, but she defeats them all...
ReplyDeleteWATCH IT, you'll love it...
