This section begins with Erin continuing to struggle in her personal life because of the attention that she is giving to school. She writes, "Maybe if I had poured my passion into being the perfect wife instead of the perfect teacher, we'd be admiring the Dutch canals together," (142). They separate, and Erin finds out that he has another girlfriend already. Erin also discovers that one of her students is dyslexic. She also starts the Freedom Writer's diary project, to help her students express their lives and emotion.
I understand the difficulty that Erin is feeling in her personal life; it must be really hard to learn how to properly balance everything, but her husband is not helping the situation at all and it is appalling that he already has another girlfriend. I think that Erin once again crosses the line when she grabs one of her students by the collar when she is upset with him (page 152). She probably could have gotten fired for that!
