I teach a unit using this book every year and was thrilled to find so many at such a reasonable price. Now I no longer have to worry about scrounging for enough for my classroom. :-)

Love it. We saw the movie in class and I wish I had 24 books for my students. I teach at a prison and I believe they really got something from the movie and now I have a book which they are passing around. If you have other copies at equally small prices I would like to purchase them. I checked one out from the library and I finally let them take that with them out of class to read. "Freedom Writers" seems to have had a big impact on them. My class is made up of young men who read at the middle school level. They are the kids in school who were labeled "at risk" and they are still "at risk." I taught at a middle school 32 years before retirement and found this class which just filled the bill for me. Thanks for sending it so promptly. My students were waiting for it to arrive so I would bring it to class. I really mean it about purchasing othere copies. I don't move around on ebay very well. So if you have equally inexpensive copies of "Freedom Writer's Diary," I really would like to purchase.Read full review
I immensely enjoy good non-fiction and this was one of the best. I purchased the book after seeing the movie which I had rented from Blockbuster. I ended up purchasing 3 DVDs and 3 books to share with my BFFs. Since purchasing, I have read the book twice and watched the DVD many more times then that! My 2 friends and I continue to discuss the content each time we three-way talk. A great purchase to lift your spirits!!
Wow! I found stories I could relate too. Sometimes it felt like I wrote the story! I was amazed by how I felt hearing other's accounting of their situations. It gave me insight to how others do feel and so want to change. I highly recommend this book to read. I'm glad the teacher that I'm an instructional assistant for is having us read this and Kafir boy. I think the students will benefit from it. ^,,^
kid liked it that I gave it to
