Summary:

"It's about a new teacher who is from an affluent family. She starts working at what is considered an at risk school with incoming freshmen from a completely different walk of life.

This is set in Los Angeles in 1994, and she gets them to see their commonalities in each other, regardless of race, gang tensions, and gets them to still learn at the same time. She gets them to finish a book cover to cover and take an interest in school and themselves and creating a better life for themselves because when they enter that classroom, as they say, they're in the middle of a war. They are not interested in anything to do with the classroom. They're more concerned about surviving that day." - Kore
