ALBANY, GA --
One child at Magnolia Elementary has one of the most dedicated grandmothers you will ever hear of. Shendora Coleman began helping her grandson with his homework when she realized she couldn't remember most of what he was covering.

"So then I'd sit down and try to help him out, but I couldn't do too much of it, so I just decided to come in the class and participate with him, and help him learn, and also let myself learn," said Coleman.

Coleman says she's learning quite a bit and hopes her grandson is learning just as much.
