Corrected entry: In the scene where Miss Gruwell is playing the line game with her students, she asks them to stand on the line if they have the new "Snoop Dogg" album. The film takes place in 1994, and Snoop was still known as Snoop Doggy Dogg back then. He didn't change his name to Snoop Dogg until 1996.

Correction: Mrs. Gruwell was not familiar with rap music. It's entirely possible she just got the name wrong. The kids were always teasing her about how she kept trying to be cool but wasn't.

Continuity mistake: When Miss Gruwell and the students are discussing junior year for the first time, she has her back turned and she is writing on the board. When she writes, "First Person Na", she turns around before finishing the last word, but in the next shot, "First Person Narrative" is written on the board.

Eva: My PO doesn't understand that schools are like the city and the city is just like a prison.

Answer: It is my understanding that she "encouraged" her students to keep diaries. Some students did and some of the diary entries were later included in a controversial book (which some people found offensive because of the language used).
