Erin older Sister, Mrs. Cossey, was my 3rd grade teacher and she was exactly the same way as her younger sister. I'm actually going to have lunch with Erin soon. Really excited about it.
We just saw Freedom Writers (the movie) in class and it was so unbelievable that I had to google it to be sure that it was based on a true story. I'm in awe at the work of Erin Gruwell!
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Erin, and many of the original students this past weekend. I returned deeply touched, motivated, inspired, and awed by the courage and absolute unconditional love by these beautiful souls...
I hope I will be at least half a good of a teacher as Erin Gruwell. She inspires me, and I hope I can inspire my students one day to do something amazing for themselves.
So i have watched The Freedom Writers many times and i love it very much. I can relate to all of the students in one fashion or another. I wish i would have had a high school teacher like Ms. Gruwell. Seriously, what she did with her students and how she got them to see the potential that they had was just amazing. There needs to be more teachers like her.
What an amazing woman you are!! I watched the movie and I cried nonstop!! I am also a teacher in Brazil and her we also have those people who join the public service not because they care, but for the stability of their job. So sad!! But seeing teachers like you is really inspiring!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, Erin Grewell, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you at Hollywood's Chinese Theater on National Teacher's Day to see this film, meet some of the students, the actors and listen to the panel. All the best!
comming from 2018, I'm from Jordan, I'm 22 so I graduated, but after your movie and your words and after reading your kids book, I can say that I have to change my life and choose another choice ..thank you for being the person who I needed to listen for
It was so beautiful :") ,thank you for inspiring us, I am the 1st one in my family who is in medicine school.You reminded me of that,now I'll work harder to be a GREAT EXTRAORDINARY doctor .Thank you
All that feeling in her story telling, all that heart wrenching pain, all of those tears she is holding back while telling her story. I don't respond well to sentimentalization. If you are a professional in education and want to maximize the potential of good teaching. Continuing to teach is important. I am impressed by the positive outcomes with her students during her short career as a teacher.
Reminds me of my father. He was the principal of a grade school. On the first day of school, he wanted students to write what they'd done in the summer. He came to my mother's class. She told him they couldn't do that. "Sure they can! He gave them a pep talk and one girl brought him her paper. "Honey, what does this say?" "I don't know; I can't read." (She was in the first grade.)
I am able to draw tangible connections to good teaching and learning. Aspiration of a student is one of the most important elements contributing to student success, this tends to be much lower in lower socioeconomic areas.
lo que hizo esta mujer es heroico es noble y demuestra que el ser humano es real porfavor no dejen de leer la historia de esta mujer que cambiaria su alma para toda su vida se los prometo.
Wow wow wow wow amazing God bless you abundantly you are a beautiful blessing to all those kids I'm very grateful to God for you for making the beautiful difference ❤❤❤💖💖💖💕💙💙💚💘💘
Its a sad truth that teachers do not make good money while the people who are destroying society make all the money. I'm talking about movie actors, criminal lawyers, divorce lawyers, alcohol brewers etc. Where is society headed to? :(
Really now? See, UA-cam has over @00 Million videos. You can choose another where the protagonists do not want recognition and money. No need to rain on someone else's parade. I recognize that she lent 4 years of her lives to help kids on our schools, created a foundation and is now teaching others how to do it. In the process she even lost her marriage. That is how much she wanted to help.
I love the work Erin has done but please do not use the term deadbeat dads. there are deadbeat moms as well. Most times dads are not aloud to be fathers. This is why so many kids get like this, the men are pushed out of there homes. I'm from the govt and I am here to help!
And I am most certain that this will not happen. I can only teach good things for the rest of my life and hope that great changes will be made by people who are dedicated to the science of education and sociology and not. The farting of ones warm hearted emotions in the wind
It's not worth it. Her unique story is not going to happen for the majority of teachers. Fix the system. Don't make us teachers become therapists, second parents, counselors, etc.
You will reach some students but the students who are disillusioned aren't wrong. Minimum wage in the UK in it's double dipping recession is a pitiful 6pounds. To prepare a student for a workforce that pays into a very meager wage while advertising and the general consumer culture that surrounds them teachers a young adult, even a older adult to want more if they are to have self worth.
I like what she did but the la Riots wasn't justified those people targeted Asian owned stores and left them with no source of income and they also targeted non black people on the street pulled them out there car beat them and bashed there heads in with brick almost killing them or handicap
I don't think she was saying those actions were justified, she was saying their anger was justified. Rodney King didn't deserve to be brutalized by police and they had a right to be angry at that injustice. She never said that they had a right to hurt other people though. In fact, the entire point was that she was trying to get them to channel their anger and pain into writing instead of violence so that they could have a chance at a better future.
In 1998 after teaching for only four years, Gruwell left Wilson High School and became a Distinguished Teacher in Residence at California State University, Long Beach. Gruwell later went on to start the Freedom Writers Foundation, which aspires to spread the Freedom Writers method across the country." I see. She wants recognition and money.
But Hearing Erin speak is like watching a hallmark card cry. Full of syrupy sentiment but no substance. And there must be something good in her philosophy as if she was able to tell us how it was achieved then perhaps other teachers and students could benefit from it.... Maybe we have to bye her books. Maybe I will. But having taught for 12 years now and achieving great results in schools in the London UK and regional areas.
She's such a light. This woman is meant to be a teacher and change peoples lives.

Are you kidding? She is gorgeous inside and out
You're not an ordinary teacher You're one of a kind I wish I had to teach you like you

You really did a world changing thing, Ms Gruwell,. You got me tearing up with this and so inspired to pursue my
I graduated from that Orange county university BTW.
^_^
Now back home in the Philippines doing what I can to ppl around me to better society.
What an amazing woman you are!! I watched the movie and I cried nonstop!! I am also a teacher in Brazil and her we also have those people who join the public service not because they care, but for the stability of their job. So sad!! But seeing teachers like you is really inspiring!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Movie name
This is exactly why teachers need to be one the highest paying careers. This is what teachers should embody.
This lady is incredible and so were her students. She is such an inspiration.
Erin--you are a great leader and teacher. you are a role model for so many . steve mariotti
"First think that you can , then you´ll be able to tell the same to others and you´ll be doing something"; that´s what she makes me think :)
thank you, thank you from Bosnia and Herzegovina.. from the bottom of my heart.. thank you for caring..
Thank you, Erin Grewell, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you at Hollywood's Chinese Theater on National Teacher's Day to see this film, meet some of the students, the actors and listen to the panel. All the best!

It's 2020 now and I really hope from the bottom of my heart you are flourishing into your new choice.
It was so beautiful :") ,thank you for inspiring us, I am the 1st one in my family who is in medicine school.You reminded me of that,now I'll work harder to be a GREAT EXTRAORDINARY doctor .Thank you
U know ben Carson ?
What an inspiring story...the book is really engrossing Teach With Your Heart, by Erin Gruwell.
Just watched the movie again. Erin shows these kids need positive attention NOT a punitive approach.
Erin, you are as magnificent as ever!! You inspire me to keep reaching for the stars and reaching back to bring others with me.........love, Raona
i love this woman. who would divorce her?
i know right?? In the movie, it was just that she was not spending anytime with her husband...
I think the divorce scene was added for drama. I don't believe she went through divorce during that time.
A sexist guy who feels intimidated when a woman is doing a difference in the a World.
I know, she seems to be a wonderful person
@@holliemartin3750 No, a media site about the movie´s factual basis states that the relationship break up and divorce is true
What a remarkable human being!
A wonderful soul. Just watched her movie. People can make difference when they are united.
Had similar experiences having some underperformed BSc CGP below 3.5, as graduate students; now they're scholars, officers and educators 🎉❤
Very inspiring and touching story, The Freedom Writers is undoubtedly the best movie I have watched so far.
All that feeling in her story telling, all that heart wrenching pain, all of those tears she is holding back while telling her story. I don't respond well to sentimentalization. If you are a professional in education and want to maximize the potential of good teaching. Continuing to teach is important. I am impressed by the positive outcomes with her students during her short career as a teacher.
I loved the Washington part!! Stopping traffic in peaceful protest!! She taught them how to stand up for themselves and be heard!
Reminds me of my father. He was the principal of a grade school. On the first day of school, he wanted students to write what they'd done in the summer. He came to my mother's class. She told him they couldn't do that. "Sure they can! He gave them a pep talk and one girl brought him her paper. "Honey, what does this say?" "I don't know; I can't read." (She was in the first grade.)
i am now a fan, hope i could be a teacher like you, erin!

She is just too good.. Love you...
This made me cry....

Muito obrigado for all the insightful information. 🤝
I loved your presentation and your message.
oke so I'm watching this for school but i like it and i respect her so much. and i will search he when I'm home
I sometimes wonder if she ever knew she’d be a legend
She is very inspiring 🙏
Turning the other cheek isn't the same as turning a blind eye. Turning the other cheek means not getting revenge; turning a blind eye means ignoring.
i loved the film too thanks
She should be POTUS.
hi bro im not english and i dont understand that ...what does it mean?
Epic Ares I'm not American but I know what it means: President of the United States.

Freedom Writers: Stories From an Undeclared War
Lo maximo.
Wow!!
Can u still buy the book
is she a famouse author now!

This is a woman of God.
So nobody gonna talk about how fine she is... Ok...
I miss my English Professor...
Anthony Pepito she was?
She need to go and stay in her country (Australia)
I’m still in high school it’s difficult...
And I am most certain that this will not happen. I can only teach good things for the rest of my life and hope that great changes will be made by people who are dedicated to the science of education and sociology and not. The farting of ones warm hearted emotions in the wind
💛
At the end of the speech she misued the phrase turning the other cheek. Turning the other cheek doesn't mean turn a blind eye.
Complaining Qoheleth that wasn’t the point
It's not worth it. Her unique story is not going to happen for the majority of teachers. Fix the system. Don't make us teachers become therapists, second parents, counselors, etc.

I see. She wants recognition and money.
She wants recognition and money? And? What's wrong with that? Especially if she has bills to pay.
Drs said in the opration not for me and I got mad at the army nurse
Did she stop teaching? She tells the same story over and over...
Ana Luiza bc that is the story people ask for
Nothing but coddling she only taught underprivileged kids for 4 short years. Feel good stories don't fix the very real issues at play here.
So you missed the whole point?

But Hearing Erin speak is like watching a hallmark card cry. Full of syrupy sentiment but no substance.
