dewalt335's review against another edition
Being a 24 year old (close in age to Erin when she started) and pursuing education myself at a middle school where many of the students are a part of low-income families and "at-risk" situations, I can see my students struggling with similar things that the Freedom Writers struggle with. Their experiences are universal, but unique at the same time. Their strength and ability to overcome obstacles is inspiring. I hope to one day have students who I am able to connect with like Erin and able to share in both success and struggle in order to grow too.
Everyone, especially anyone who wants to go into education, should read this book and really take the time to take it in. These are still issues in our world.
