After watching the movie Freedom Writers, I can conclude that Ms. Gruwell is in fact a very good teacher. She was willing to go to any length and do anything to help her students succeed. For example, she got several other jobs other than the teaching job just so that she could buy new books for her students from her own pockets. She tried different approaches to break down the barriers so that her students would learn such as taking them to the Museum of Tolerance and have a speaker come to class to discuss her own experience and how it related to the reading of Anne Frank. She even put her students education above her marriage. She honestly cared about her students and was willing to go above and beyond what was required of her so that her students could reach their potential.

I agree that both teachers cared for their students and went out of their way for them
