Contrasting Schools

The two schools are actually quite different.  The school in the movie Freedom Writers is more gang related with both boys and girls attending the school.  There, all the teachers have given up on them and feel they don't even deserve books that are brand new.  Teachers at Woodrow Wilson could pretty much careless on whether the students decide to show up or not.  In the movie Dead Poets Society it's a prep school for specifically all boys.  The administration and staff of the academy are much stricter in letting the boys do what they want.  Another difference in both schools is Erin Gruwell is a high school teacher to where as Mr. Keating is a teacher at a college.
