Freedom Writers (2007)
1 question
Directed by: Richard LaGravenese
Starring: Patrick Dempsey, Scott Glenn, Hilary Swank, Imelda Staunton
Continuity mistake: When Miss Gruwell and the students are discussing junior year for the first time, she has her back turned and she is writing on the board. When she writes, "First Person Na", she turns around before finishing the last word, but in the next shot, "First Person Narrative" is written on the board.
Eva: My PO doesn't understand that schools are like the city and the city is just like a prison.

Answer: It is my understanding that she "encouraged" her students to keep diaries. Some students did and some of the diary entries were later included in a controversial book (which some people found offensive because of the language used).
