Keep Our Students OUT of Prison

Dear Governor Snyder,

In these tough economic times, schools are hurting. And yes, everyone in Michigan is hurting right now financially, but why aren’t we protecting schools? Schools are the one place on Earth that people look to to “fix” what is wrong with society by educating our youth and preparing them to take on the issues that society has created.

One solution I believe we must do is take a look at our corrections system in Michigan. We rank nationally at the top in the number of people we incarcerate. We also spend the most money per prisoner annually than any other state in the union. Now, I like to be at the top of lists, but this is one ranking that I don’t believe Michigan wants to be on top of.

Consider the life of a Michigan prisoner. They get three square meals a day. Access to free health care. Internet. Cable television. Access to a library. A weight room. Computer lab. They can earn a degree. A roof over their heads. Clothing. Everything we just listed we DO NOT provide to our school children.

This is why I’m proposing to make my school a prison. The State of Michigan spends annually somewhere between $30,000 and $40,000 per prisoner, yet we are struggling to provide schools with $7,000 per student. I guess we need to treat our students like they are prisoners, with equal funding. Please give my students three meals a day. Please give my children access to free health care. Please provide my school district Internet access and computers. Please put books in my library. Please give my students a weight room so we can be big and strong. We provide all of these things to prisoners because they have constitutional rights. What about the rights of youth, our future?!

Please provide for my students in my school district the same way we provide for a prisoner. It’s the least we can do to prepare our students for the future...by giving our schools the resources necessary to keep our students OUT of prison.

Respectfully submitted,

Nathan Bootz
Superintendent
Ithaca Public Schools

5. Chewy Brownies, What Megan's Making

There are so many amazing food blogs out in world that I wanted to share a few that I have recently discovered. I have visited a number of recipe sites but I never really get the feeling of a shared cooking experience (my attempt at cooking from a recipe at CHOW.com) like I do when I visit these food blogs. I enjoy reading and cooking along with these editors.

I am insecure when it comes to the kitchen so being able to interact with the editors of these blogs makes my love of cooking that much easier. Among the details of the recipes, the photos on these sites are incredible.

I have not indulged in these blogs as much as I would like to yet, but from what I have seen, I know I have a lot of good reading, cooking and baking ahead. Here are a few food blogs that make me hungry!

1. Can You Stay for Dinner - An amazing life story told through cooking, baking and 135 weight lost. This blog is more than just recipes.
2. Rainy Day Gal - I really like this blog. The food choices are so perfect for my kind of appetite and my growing cooking skills.
3. Got No Milk - A dairy free cooking blog. It's possible and it all looks delicious.
4. Love & Olive Oil - "The culinary adventures of Lindsay and Taylor. We're all about quick and flavorful dishes that don't hurt the wallet". I couldn't say it better. They are masters at that combination.
5. What Megan's Making - Everything cooked or baked in this blog is right up my appetite alley. I get carried away with cooking possibilities when I visit What Megan's Making. Now that I think about it, what is Megan making this week?

Here are a few honorable mentions: Food.People.Want, Smitten Kitchen, and Get Off Your Butt and Bake.

There are plentiful amount of food blogs out there so let me know your favorites, they might become one of my favorites as well. Eat up!
