It is refreshing to see a civics teacher actually teach civics at a real level...bringing in a legislator and having the students get a feel of who these people are on a face-to-face level. I think this type of interaction is woefully lacking even at the higher levels of education - where the assumptions people have of politicians are more rooted and less easy to change. 

Now if we could get this type of interaction on a larger scale, perhaps, just perhaps we can move the needle on voter knowlege to a higher level.
