Hilary Swank plays a High School teacher in her new movie Freedom Writers which is ironic since the Oscar winner never got her diploma. Hilary said that she couldn’t follow the rules and left to pursue an acting career.

She said, “I’m not proud to say I’m a high-school dropout. I’m not proud that that’s something that happened, but it happened. I think school is really, really important and we have an education problem in this country and it’s a shame. It’s a shame for any kid to feel hopeless about their future.”

Hilary never went back to get her GED. That’s weird. I figured Hilary for the smart type that like was top of her class and went to like Yale.
