      freelance writer

      #Daily Piece# The Archives screened another film "Freedom Writer" (the title of the film is based on the diary of a freelance writer written by "bad" students, so it is also based on a true story about teachers, students and education. Translated as "Street Diary"), this is the third film with related themes after "Dead Poets Society" and "Green School Tree" this month (there is no "Cow Herding Class" really unreasonable), September as the opening season and The month of Teachers' Day deserves...

      The Taste of Change - Freedom Writers

      After watching the "Freelance Writer" on Tuesday night, I checked the movie online and it turned out that it was based on a true event. "Freelance Writer", also known as "Street Writer", is also generally regarded as the 21st century version of "Blackboard Jungle". The film is adapted from real events, and perhaps it is precisely because of its authenticity that it has a shaking and profound power. Of course, some of the plots of the film are suspected of being sensational, but...

      free change of mind writer

      As a person who is preparing to become a teacher, I have to say that such a movie is really inspiring. The social situation in the United States has led to people of all races and colors who still continue the hatred and hostility of their elders after the great integration. Most of the students' tragic experiences give hope and change Teachers who are more precious and meaningful and responsible have seen a breakthrough and changed their belief that there are no such serious racial issues...

      Schools should give people ideas

      Watching a movie is a long way to go. Although the process is very enjoyable, it is very frustrating to face so many well-known and unfamiliar movies. Take your time. "Street Diary" is a must-see educational film, starring Oscar-winning actress Hillary Swan. Adapted from a true story. Equity in education is the greatest fairness. The United States also implements equalization of education. Public schools implement a mixed system. Children of color and white children go to school together. As a...

      Film Review: Freedom Writer

      I have seen several good teachers' films, like Front of the Class, Never give up, because nothing can beat love; Dead Poets Society, Oh captain, my captain; and The History Boy , I can still clearly recall Hector saying, pass it on, pass it on. And this particular film immediately reminds me of The Ron Clark Story with one of my favorite actor Matthew Perry, both are talking about a newcome teacher changing greatly his or her students, who are normally considered hopeless and incurable....

      If I were a teacher, I wouldn't let them throw away their guns, I would undoubtedly throw the sheep into the tiger's mouth. I will not go to the third grade together. I will say that I cannot follow you all my life. You have to face the real world by yourself. The class is not to create a utopia for you, but I hope you learn to love and resolve...

    Movie plot

    The 23-year-old Erin Grouville took up her first education job as a teacher in a terrible class at Wilson School. There are students who bring nightmares to teachers: they waste their time, kill the hours, and treat the school as a playground before the age of 18. What is more chaotic is that the students come from different races and various lower classes in the society, and they are divided into groups. Send a fight with each other....
