The urban high school movies show us that the high schools in the cities aren’t able to give students what they need to be successful in life. Also they make it obvious for us that the student’s attitude towards education is there big problem to make progress. In all of the three films Dangerous Minds, Freedom Writers and Walkout the schools are racially discriminate, they let the student’s look like they are lacy, violent and so on, because no one beliefs in them to have a successful life. The movies Freedom Writers and Dangerous Minds have something in common, in both of them students have problems with their attitude and behavior in and outside the classroom, they reject to get an education.

Also the similarity by teachers to Ms. Cambpell the head of the English department who lost the faith into the students and is burned out is a problem in the real teaching world. She gave the advice to Erin Gruwell the new teacher “You can’t make someone want an education. The best you can do is try to get them to obey, to learn discipline. That would be a tremendous accomplishment for them” (Bulman, 2005).
