Hello dear readers, I hope you are doing well!
This time I had to talk about an educational movie and its effects on
me, I chose 'Freedom Writers' or 'The Freedom Writers Diary', as you prefer.
This movie was filmed in 2007 and is based on a book called ‘The Freedom
Writers Diary’ by Erin Gruwell, an American
teacher, who was inspired in real life stories. This movie tells the life of
the students of classroom 203 in a juvenile correction facility, located in
Long Beach, California, and a new teacher that has come into their lives to
change their wrong concepts about life. The life of most of these students is
surrounded by violence, drugs and delinquents; they do not even know why they
go to school every day; somehow, this teacher (Erin Gruwell) recognized their
similarities and used them to unite them and gave them some notebooks where
they can express themselves and tell what happen in their lives.
I really like this movie and enjoy it every time
I watch it because it shows me a not-so-far reality from my country (Colombia),
shows me there are still committed people in society (not only teachers) and
maybe this does not happen in the largest cities, but it do happen in some
contexts of the country, in forsaken towns by government. If you have not
watched this movie, please do it, you will not regret. I brought you some
pictures because I could not
upload the trailer of the movie; anyway I share you the link:

These are the real students and their teacher.
These are the actors.
This is the cover of the book.
Now, it would a pleasure for me if you answer these questions:
1. Would you like to work in a juvenile correction facility (juvenile
detention center), why or why not?
2. What do you think government should do to improve this situation?
(Does not matter where it is)
3. Do you know any juvenile correction facility in Colombia? Where is it
located?
Post data: You can say juvenile correction facility or juvenile correctional facility, they are both correct. Thanks for reading, see you soon!

1. I would like to have the experience and see how my life can change after that.
ResponderEliminar2. Many things, like to have better programs with qualified people to help them come back to the society because many of them after finished the social program. They come back to crime,drugs,etc.
3. No, so sorry.
Thanks Káiser, it is nice to see you would like to work in a juvenile detention center.

These* guys.
Eliminar...Thank you, Pipe, I never thought there were so many juvenile detention center in Medellín.
1. would be nice to get that experience because all the things that you can learn of those teenagers are wonderful, even if they're bad.
ResponderEliminar2. Government should worry about the entire Colombia because they try to fix just what the people know, and even we are forgetin' about our own country and his people.
3.Yes I do, actually is really close to my house. (San Jose's work-school)
I agree with you, sometimes government only care about some cities (the most important here) and the rest of the country do not exist. Thanks for sharing the name of the juvenile detention center, Sebas.
EliminarMister. How do you do?
ResponderEliminar1. I think I am not very prepared for dealing with this kind of environment. So not, I do not yet.
2. It's hard. Even for government because it cannot see what is happening. This is huge social issue and each part (we and government) should get involved in.
3. No, I don't. Sorry.
Yes, I know we all have to take part of it. Thanks Mister Julian!
