I won't say much, but once someone's seen it, we can discuss it. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Dotsie, I saw the movie tonight and will watch it again tomorrow night if I have time. It blew me away, reminded me of who I am, and who others are or might be! It's a lesson in humanity based on a book about a true story titled The Freedom Writers Diary. I give it a 10! _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth? A Survivor's Guide www.gotteethguide.com for your Free Tips

lrich Registered: 05/10/07 Posts: 14	I watched the movie last week.....EXCELLENT! Definately a lesson in humanity, reality, oppression, compassion and loads of other emotions we deal with personally and generally in life. I was very impressed and moved by this movie. If we could mold the world with the concept of this movie, we would be stepping in the right direction to resolve so many violent issues we are continuously living with in today's world. It's a must see for everyone....great to spread this movie around. Real eye-opener. _________________________ Health and wellness is an excellent path to a fulfilling lifestyle. http://www.siscanbooks.com Creator of My Personal BABYBOOMER RETIREMENT Book

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I couldn't agree more. I wish we had teachers like her in Baltmimore City. I want to remember to tell Anno to watch it because she works with high school kids. Maybe she could do a movie night with her teachers and plant some seeds for change. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I have seen it. A theater here offered to let all teachers see it for free when it first came out. We all loved it. A client of mine, also a teacher, showed it to his classroom. They had great discussions after the movie. I think the idea of a movie night with teachers sounds great. You have planted an idea in my head for how to start the year off in the fall. This could be fun and inspiring. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Oh good Anno. I think that would be a great idea. Anno, what ages were the kids who watched it together? I think it would be a great idea for middle school kids. Often, movies like this can do more for a kid than a whole semester of a basic subject. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Casey Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 789 Loc: Aptos, California	I loved this movie! And the lack of tests. It's amazing what significant change can happen without testing people to death. :-))) _________________________ Casey Dawes Wise Woman Shining Supporting women business owners to step into their power as business leaders.

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I agree Dotsie and Casey. Middle schoolers were the group and I agree that a movie like this could make a tremendous difference for kids of that age. Casey, our school district just added one more normed test to the schedule for next year. Some grades have 6 major tests (lasting between 2 and 6 days) plus all of the testing that each school could add. Testing is the number one reason I left the classroom years ago. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com
