Member Center:
Did your kids have company in the classroom today? It was a living lesson in government, fresh off the campaign trail today at Savannah's Garrison Elementary. Rep. Johnny Isakson (R-GA Dist. 6) paid a visit, chatting with principal Karen Grant and reading to students.
He says Garrison is a prime example of the success of the No Child Left Behind Act. The school just came off the "needs improvement" list for reading and writing.
"If children can read and comprehend, they can do anything," he said. "If they cannot, they're limited. I think Garrison has done a marvelous job with that."
Garrison Elementary is one of several schools Isakson visited around the state this month.
