The Freedom Writers DiaryStraight from the front line of urban America, the inspiring story of one fiercely determined teacher and her remarkable students. As an idealistic twenty three year old English teacher at Wilson High School in Long beach, California, Erin Gruwell confronted a room of "unteachable, at risk" students.

Straight from the front line of urban America, the inspiring story of one fiercely determined teacher and her remarkable students.As an idealistic twenty-three-year-old English teacher at Wilson High School in Long beach, California, Erin Gruwell confronted a room of "unteachable, at-risk" students. One day she intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature, and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust--only to be met by uncomprehending looks. So she and her students, using the treasured books Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in Sarajevo as their guides, undertook a life-changing, eye-opening, spirit-raising odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding. They learned to see the parallels in these books to their own lives, recording their thoughts and feelings in diaries and dubbing themselves the "Freedom Writers" in homage to the civil rights activists "The Freedom Riders." With funds raised by a "Read-a-thon for Tolerance," they arranged for Miep Gies, the courageous Dutch woman who sheltered the Frank family, to visit them in California, where she declared that Erin Gruwell's students were "the real heroes." Their efforts have paid off spectacularly, both in terms of recognition--appearances on "Prime Time Live" and "All Things Considered," coverage in People magazine, a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley--and educationally. All 150 Freedom Writers have graduated from high school and are now attending college. With powerful entries from the students' own diaries and a narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary is an uplifting, unforgettable example of how hard work, courage, and the spirit of determination changed the lives of a teacher and her students. Erin Gruwell is now a visiting professor at California State University, Long Beach, where some of her students are Freedom Writers. The authors' proceeds from this book will be donated to The Tolerance Education Foundation, an organization set up to pay for the Freedom Writers' college tuition.

these work really well on your screens on your phone and laptop. I keep one of them in my car for the computer screen. there are 4 of them so you can leave them in multiple places and always have one handy. the designs are fun. they clean well with a little pressure. they do not scratch the surfaces. they are nice and soft and small enough to keep in your purse or wherever.

These are handy and effective!
Color: Blossom
These work really well for cleaning phone/tablet screens, the display screen in my car, and any other screen surface. The material is soft and doesn’t scratch, doesn’t require any liquid cleaning product, and does a great job of removing smudges and dust. I like how portable they are-I can keep one in my car, one in my purse, one in my work bag, and one in my nightstand. I’ve reused them multiple times and they have stood up well to multiple uses with no apparent loss of cleaning ability.

Work great, inexpensive, but…pic just a tad different
Color: Glitter Pink/Black
These work well, were worth the price, and made good stocking stuffers. I took off 1 star, because they appeared somewhat different from the photo. The photo made the glitter ones looked like they had stars as part of the pattern (like a night sky or outer space), but it seems like that effect was added to the photo to enhance the glittery appearance. They are, in fact, very sparkly and not very celestial, so they were just a tad more ‘girly’ than I was expecting. Nothing wrong with glitter and glam—just different from what I thought I was getting. On a positive note, the glitter is sealed in and doesn’t shed, so you won’t be spreading sparkly escapees for the rest of eternity. (I guess I would give 4.5 stars if I could)

Where have these been all my life?
Color: Glitter Pink/Black, Color: Glitter Pink/Black
I don’t understand why anyone would give this set of little miracles a bad review. I have wasted way too UHC money on too many products that never get my phone completely street and smudge free, especially around the edges where the phone and the case meet. That’s the area I’ve wasted the most time trying to get clean, to no avail. I have spent way too much time wiping the edges and corners over and over, but they never are completely streak-free. I saw these and figured I’d try them; it’d not like I wouldn’t be able to return them if they ended up being a just as useless as everything else I’ve tried, and even if I did forget to send them back, I wasn’t losing a ton of money. The first thing I did when they arrived I pulled one of them out, shoved two fingers under the elastic band, a major selling point for me because it keeps it secure without feeling claustrophobic., and started swirling all around the edges of my phone. And within seconds my phone screen looked brand new. The oily grime stuck in the corners and all along the edges was gone within seconds. Without any cleaning solution too, which I love that it’s an eco-friendly solution to keeping all that grossness off of my phone and tablet screens. I was in the middle of making cupcakes and had the bright idea of smearing a bit of butter on the screen of my tablet to see what happens. The results speak for themselves. And there’s no gross oily residue left on the pad I used to clean my tablet either when I was finished. I’m sure there’s an easy way to clean them…I’ll look into that when the need arises. The only issue I have is that I can’t buy them in an extra large size for cleaning tvs. The small ones will work perfectly, but an extra large one would get rid of every streak, smudge, fingerprint and lint within a few seconds. And you get it clean without any cleaning spray. You don’t even need water. Just open it up and use. I’d buy one to keep behind every tv in my house in a large size!
They are the perfect size to keep in your purse or your pocket. I bought the glittery ones; my ADHD brain is immediately drawn to anything that sparkles. And getting four for the price is beyond a great deal. I highly recommend these little wonders if you are like me and hate seeing your grandchildren’s fingerprints smeared all over your tablets screen when they hand it back to you. Or if you reach the same level of frustration I’ve reached whenever I’ve tried to get every bit of oily grossness off of my phones screen. These are going to make great white elephant and last minute Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers. They arrived a day earlier than I expected too. Get these. You won’t regret it. Until you try them and you regret that you can’t get an extra large one for your televisions too!
