this is a public school funded by public dollars. 20 years ago when i helped run the arial foundation we started a small public school where it was a public school. john rogers helped fund summer programs for kids. he helped do things with parents and put in an investment curriculum where children as young as kindergarten were being taught about the stock market and by the time children were in sixth grade they are stirring to invest real money in the stock market and getting a return. amazing opportunity does -- amazing opportunity that does not normally happen. the lack of minorities having access to that world trying to break down those barriers, there's actually a young man who went to arial community academy who now works at ariel investments who never had that opportunity without it. i would love to see a lot more individuals of means. a lot more companies and philanthropies stepping up partnering with schools to give every child a chance to receive that great education. host: when the last time you spoke with president obama? guest: i interviewed him in d.c. not too long ago. h
