Ms. Gruwell and Ms. Watson are different in that they teach different subjects (one is English and the other is Art History), and their approach to teaching is different. Although both try to open their students eyes to their own potential by introducing curriculum that is different, Ms. Watson leaves teaching at her school when she is forced to stick with the curriculum given to her. Both teachers encourage their students to be more, but while Ms. Gruwell encourages her students to attend college and complete their high school education, Ms. Watson tries to encourage her students (all girls) to not just seek out just marriage, but to strive for a college education and more. Both teachers do have to deal with adversity from within the upper management of school, but Ms. Gruwell also has to deal with the everyday violence she is surrounded by.
