On today's show, are MEAP scored relevant to your child's education? Craig discusses the progress of Michigan's students with Stephen Cook, President of the Michigan Education Association, Tom Watkins, Former State Schools Superintendent, and John Telford, Interim Superintendent of Detroit Public Schools. Craig takes calls from listeners and lets them choose the topic. In some Detroit neighborhoods,the corner store doesn’t have fresh fruits or vegetables or milk at affordable prices. As part of our ongoing series on Detroit’s food economy, WDET’s Rob St. Mary introduces us to a family that has made bulk buying and bargain shopping a staple of good nutrition. Craig speaks with Mark Jurkowitz, Associate Director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, about how the pundits may respond to immigration legislation this time around. Also, WDET's Amy Miller speaks with Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times Journalist and best-selling author Matt Richtell about his new novel, "The Cloud", which explores the influence of technology on our minds and Craig takes calls from listeners about the role of technology in society.
