the last one was killing our children's future. what does our children's future look like?ere talking during the break. what is your concern? >> for the past week i have been concerned since they passed the bill defunding acorn and also have the federal government take over all of the student loans. how do we know now they're not going to direct our children into professions that they think they should be taking where they are lacking, not something that our kids want to go into but something they are forced into or they will not get a loan? with the economy the way it is, we will not all be able to pay for our kids' educations. we need student loans. >> the other thing that we're outraged about is how big government is marry aring the corporations and they are selling us down the river. think about the cap and trade they are trying to pass. we have corporations lobbying for legislation, when it is a job killer and it is going to raise energy prices and kill the economy. how is that helping america? glenn: does anybody know when lobbyists started? does anybody know this? it

debi: what does this teach the children? alec: it teaches them-it's positive relationship building, expressive language development. especially for my son--to be able to hear all these words and then to express his own language in this way. also, just that positive reinforcement that children need. debi: it looks pretty simple to make. alec: mm-hmm. debi: how do you make it? alec: very simple. of course, i have my paper bag here. you can use a paper bag--just any poster board, you know. and then the cardboard is nice because it's nice and sturdy. you want some 3x5 cards and some markers and a little bit of tape or glue. and once you get it, you take the picture of your children, you put that in the center, and then you can start to put pieces of paper or the 3x5 poster cards of what each child says about each other. debi: nice. this looks like an activity, too, that they could share at school, like marianella was saying that there's sibling rivalry in her child care. so this might be something they could take about the new b

our children are competing with children in india and china.ht now, those children are going to school 25%, 30% more than our children here. so, if we're serious about being economically competitive, we have to get dramatically better. >> so, if you see it as mediocre, let's call it a "c." large urban areas have to be failing at this point. what do you do for those parents who have no other option but those schools, they have no option to move, and they look at their child's future as doomed? >> well, obviously, i come from one of the largest urban areas, chicago. and i would put our schools in chicago at the same category as many other larger urban districts. we have some of the best schools, literally, some of the best public schools in the country, 5 of the top 100 schools in the country are chicago public schools. we have some in the middle and unfortunately, some of the worst in the country as well. you think about those three different buckets. the high-performing schools which exist in every urban area, we need to do more of those, repli

who cares for these poor, vulnerable little children? feed the children does! and thanks to a generous donation from the taiwanese government of 11 million pounds of rice, we're going to be able to feed thousands upon thousands of hungry children in malawi. a lot of countries have surpluses, and often times those surpluses lie in the warehouses unused, and many times that food spoils. in this case, the taiwanese they have surplus rice and they're sending that rice to the areas of greatest need. and they're providing this tremendous quantity of rice. and those of us in america all we have to do is, you know, open our pocketbooks and.and help feed the children from the distribution which is really simple to do. but we need your help like never before. for a gift of only $10 you can provide 500 hungry children with a nutritious meal from this shipment of rice. just $20 will feed 1,000 children. malawi is among the 10 poorest nations in the world. millions of hungry and destitute children like albright are helpless with no one to turn to. but just think, for only $

which children are exposed. almost two decades, three. stand out, as i see it. first, children remain our most precious national resource. it is absolutely essential as ever to make sure that kids are healthy and educated and prepared for the 21st century and that they are protected from commercial exploitation. second, television continues to have a powerful effect on our children and broadcast television remains a unique media, the exclusive source of videoç programming relied upony millions of households, even today as restore any reason digital television transition. the commission's responsibility to enforce of the children's television act is vital. third, senator rockefeller, as you said, much has changed since the act was enacted in 1990. for instance, broadcasting has gone digital, offering new opportunities and challenges. multichannel video programming has grown dramatically since 1990 significantly expanding the program in choices of viewers who can afford to pay for television. the internet has vas

one of them is a children's book, that only counts for half. i tell stories to children a lot.don't you turn that into a book? i say i haven't shown it to my others. do it! the two serious books i have been working hard on are a book on 25 years of life and work with children i have known and written about in the bronx. >> host: a memoir. >> guest: more than that. an update. what has happened sinc where are they now, what is the current education picture look like for their younger brothers andisters, where do we stand now for the next generation? i have been working on tt for several years. it will be one of the major books of my career, i hope. but i have a lot of work ahea is going to take time. the other book is a memoir of my dad, which is complete. i finished it. he died last year at the age of 102, he led a fascinating life. he started out going to harvey law school, he quit harvard law, went to europe, tracked down the greatest living founders of modern psychiatry, people who are still alive. in vienna and paris, went back to college, and at harvard med school, the next

however, we get referrals on daily basis for children. so they are constantly coming in. >> how do children know, do families get recommended to you or referred to you? >> referred from the department of social services, baltimore city department of social services. we'll make a referral to neighbors and families to go in and to make sure that the daily needs of the children are being met. for most of our referrals, they do come from baltimore city, the department of children services. >> okay, now, as a board member, why do you think that this organization made for the family is important? >> i think it is important, the motto that we have t is very important because you're keeping those young people, those siblingsing together where as -- siblings together, where they have been broken up and referred to group homes. that's more devastating than keeping them together. i've been with the organization for five years. the organization was started in 1990. but what i have seen and what we have done in the several states we operate maryland,

what doesn't sit well for me is failed children, when children don't believe in themselves because theyieve the education they are not receiving is, in fact, undermining their very sense of self. our children are failing because we're not teaching them. we are not teaching our children to perform successfully in this economy, and as a result the economy is suffering. >> last thing here, and we don't mean to pick on folks in oklahoma, but you don't have any reason to think if this same survey was done in the other 49 states the result would be any different? >> i don't think they would be any different. in fact, anecdotally, if we look at many urban centers, in fact, we will find that the top children in those schools are immigrant children. so, our kids are being beaten by children who do not even know the language. but it's not just there. if we look at america's top colleges and universities and ivy leagues in particular, you'll find a great number of children who come from other countries. our kids are being smoked because we are not preparing them. >> the oklahoma count civil on pub

you know, our children deserve the best. ones that have been through such traumatic events need to be given all the love and support. you know, unconditional love from those parents. and i'm sure they're doing that. as parents, i think that one of the most important things that we can do is to give our children the education, the knowledge that helps them move forward. i've been working on a program called rad kids that does that that basically addresses the issues of bullying, molestation, abuse and abduction. and i would encourage parents to go to radkids.org and learn more about that. >> sounds like a wonderful program. we appreciate your time with us. ed smart and elizabeth looks beautiful. you know, again, such a great girl. and we're so glad things turned out so well. >> thank you very much. >> dr. janet taylor, thank you also for you being here as well. >>> coming up next, we're going to switch gears and turn to our money panel to answer your questions about getting back on track right after this. nowhere. who do you
