Wouldn't Freedom Fighters be more closer than Freedom Riders? Fissionfox 09:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There should be a section on real teachers' reactions to the movie.  There were a few in the New York Times.
Celticguy makes a great point.  The censorship is very relevant.  Got a source on that?12.144.50.221 15:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The movie was shot at Long Beach Polytechnic High School because, as one student puts it, modern day Wilson Classical High School isn't "ghetto enough" to create the desired setting.
The use of Long Beach Polytechnic High School is obvious in a scene where the students are out on the quad. If one has ever seen the quads of Wilson and Poly, one could easily determine the location used in the shot. 
The movie The Freedom Writers was a good movie. The movie was about a group of kids the were up to no good in their lives's and they were in different gangs. Their teacher was trying to make the children become better than they where before they where in gangs. The students wrote in a journal about their lives and the teacher didn't read them unless the students said that she could read it. At the end of their year they wrote their journals on a computer and the teacher got their journals published and that is the end of my summary of the movie the Freedom Writers.           
Could someone please add a section about the deceptive setting?

message: The Freedom Writers Diary was not introduced until after the revelation that the Ms. Gruwell could not teach junior year. Someone please rectify this.-Zyrath (talk) 22:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronological Error  

message: I just finished watching this movie and the very opposite happened to what was written in the article. She does not in fact get to teach her kids' junior and senior years. I dont know why this article says she did convince the superintendent to do so. If this is not corrected soon I will go ahead and do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.242.174 (talk • contribs) 08:41, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

The above person who said that the teacher did not get to the teach junior and senior class and stating that you just watched the movie does no credit. She did teach the junior and senior class. It is clearly represented in the movie. Watch it again.  (UTC)
In real life Ms. Gruwell only taught the students first or second (I can't remember which) semester of their junior year and then both semesters of their senior year. EgyptKEW9 18:53, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Error 

message: Is this section needed for the article? It seems to only reference one opinion piece, and rather that crediting who wrote the article the section professes what the piece says as if it's a matter of fact rather than opinion. Unless more sources and attributed quotes can be added to this section, I don't see that this section is necessary to the article.  THE $R$. Hablame!  Hancock!  19:32, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
