These programs teach healthy living, nutrition, and self-sufficiency through sales. What is more valuable than that? Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Let us know if you hear anything about what we can do...Jaynihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563502842975495492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539135871856701062.post-4704952531346081662010-03-18T00:41:08.142-04:002010-03-18T00:41:08.142-04:00I had no idea Detroit was like this.

I'm so impressed that a group has taken the initiative to ask what do we need to educate people to know how to do, but I'm so upset that this program is one of the first that will go because of budget cuts. In NJ, they're cutting summer programs to help underprivileged students from local urban communities...but that university will still be paying their football coach millions of dollars each year.Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814989061078872030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539135871856701062.post-56122191773682820932010-03-17T22:27:11.884-04:002010-03-17T22:27:11.884-04:00Ugh.

I work in early intervention, and we are looking at HUGE cuts to our budget next year - cuts that will keep us from helping kids early, which is cost-effective for schools in the long run. Ugh. <br /><br />I'll have to see this movie. My hubs grew up in northern Detroit, and it holds a special place in our hearts. It breaks my heart that it has fallen to pieces, and cutting this school out will just continue the cycle. Thanks for sharing such an important issue.Sarah Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569657977778564585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539135871856701062.post-90944755690343351162010-03-17T18:03:50.683-04:002010-03-17T18:03:50.683-04:00That is too sad.

It's ridiculous what things are getting cut and what are not. It's sad that education seems like the first to go.Tiffany Kadanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887874943048853535noreply@blogger.com
