Columnist and College of Education alumna Myra Blackmon recently recounted her visit to Fowler Drive Elementary School in Athens. The school is part of the Professional Development School District, a partnership between Clarke County schools and the College of Education.
"Fowler Drive Elementary is a light in the darkness. It exemplifies what public education can be if we are willing to dedicate the resources, find the best teachers and create an environment that fosters a love of learning. Every child deserves it," she writes.
