The Moment of Silence | Georgia Stories

It may surprise you to learn that only a few hundred of the more than 2,000 bills introduced each year in the Georgia legislature become law. One law that affects every Georgia public school student is the Moment of Quiet Reflection Act. Students at Pointe South Middle School in Jonesboro are seen sitting silently during the moment of quiet reflection. When asked what they are thinking, their answers range from thinking of the day ahead to homework and prayers for friends and family. Georgia Sen. David Scott, author of the reflection bill, explains why he introduced it.
