I AM SO SICK!!!
I am worried I may bet slammed for saying this but who cares! I am so sick and tired of these phony “lets save the ghetto kids” type movies. I work with troubled kids I am a teacher and trust me it is a difficult, grueling and time-consuming process. But movies will try and make the general population believe that teaching them to swim or play drums or write stories will rescue them from certain destruction! This is so far from the truth. So when 90% of our students in RTC’s don’t go on to be senators and doctors people wonder why we are not doing our job. It sickens me. I work with kids who have been abused both physically and sexually. Kids who have seen their parents in gangs or as drug addicts or worse killed. Kids who themselves may be addicted to drugs. These are extremely troubled youth and turning their lives around is a long process involving many caring and compassionate people. And when Hollywood give us false impressions that Hillary Swank can come in and solve all their woes it demises the work that dedicated and hard working people in the field do on a daily basis.
