The 23-year-old Erin Grouville took up her first education job as a teacher in a terrible class at Wilson School. There are students who bring nightmares to teachers: they waste their time, kill the hours, and treat the school as a playground before the age of 18. What is more chaotic is that the students come from different races and various lower classes in the society, and they are divided into groups. Send a fight with each other. Ailin tried his best to keep the hatred away from the children and dispel the hostility between them. However, as a white teacher, the children set up a wall for her. Ailin's educational ideals have repeatedly hit the wall in reality. Ailin bears a heavy burden on her shoulders. She only has one book that may affect her children, as well as a sincere heart to lead the lost children to the light

Eva: White people wanting respect like they deserve it for free.
Erin Gruwell: I'm a teacher, it doesn't matter what color I am.
Eva: It's all about color, it's about people deciding what you deserve, about people wanting what they don't deserve. About whites thinking they own this world no matter what, you see, I hate white people.
Erin Gruwell: You hate me? You don't even know me.
Eva: I know what you can do. I saw white cops shoot my friend in the back for reaching into his pocket, his pocket! I saw white cops come into my house and take my father away for no REASON except they feel like it! Except because they can! And they can, because they're white. So I HATE white people on sight!

Margaret Campbell: You're an honor student. If you transfer to Mrs. Gruwell's class, think how that'll reflect on your records.
Victoria: It doesn't matter to me, my grades will still be the same. Look, Ms. Campbell, when I first transferred to this school, I had a 4.0 average. But when I applied for advanced placement in English and Math, I was told it'd be better for me to be in a class of my own kind. Now, when I did get in, my teacher said "Victoria! It's not everyday one finds an African American student in AP and Honors courses!"... As if I didn't notice. And when I asked another Honors teacher why we don't read more black literature, she said, "We don't read black literature because of all the sex, drugs, cussing, and fornication". I thought a simple... "It's inappropriate"... would have sufficed.
