our kids have nintendo, they have the mall. no, these kids do not. that's their way out. in the dominican republic, mexico, nicaragua, costa rica, they're all hungry. these latin american countries, africa--the africans are up and coming. they really are. cambodia's starting their baseball program. the philippines is getting back to where it was. it's all over. damian: so, they don't have the ability to go home after their at bat's and check on their ipads and see, "how's my swing going?" why the passion in the bustos family for this? juan jr.: oh goodness. my baseball--my family's been a baseball family for as long as i could remember. my grandfather played professional in nicaragua, and i think that's where it kind of started from. filtered down through my mom and her brothers, and my dad got going. you know, he saw a need for extra help for a lot of kids, and he stepped up, and you know, saw a hole here. and you know, baseball is the way that we are able to introduce different cultures to different kids here. you know, one of my favorite stories is when we were in ital

now, come on. >> hinojosa: are you kidding? with all that... >> no, i'm not kidding. i have no reason to kid anymore. 24 years of experience in this tough neighborhood. >> hinojosa: and now you end up, actually... you're working with a lot of poor african americans, which has traditionally... you're working with immigrant community, and you've got poor whites. >> poor whites, and from what i can gather, poverty's poverty. it effects everybody just about the same, but the antidote is the same-- quality, affection, excellence, world-class leadership, powerful architecture, sunlight, flowers, food-- you can cure cancer. >> hinojosa: music. >> that's why i won the macarthur fellowship, because i figured out the cure for spiritual cancer. it's called treating people with dignity, and with hope and human possibility, we can actually cure the disease. >> hinojosa: and the training center...so let's move into... all right, so these kids, some of them have their parents who have lost their jobs... >> yup. >> hinojosa: ...and you have a training center that then... >> vocationa

>> reporter: that come with raising eight kids. kate gosselin telling my colleague amy robach that older isn't necessarily easier. babies would be easier and that scares me because that was really hard. eight teenagers. just stop and think. and i have a really loud bark but my bite is so useless. >> reporter: kate, divorced since 2009 from jon, is a single mother to 12-year-old sextuplets and 16-year-old twins. along with the family's upcoming season of "kate plus 8" comes new drama splashing across the tabloids. kate now speaking out about those headlines. new season. a few months ago you revealed he is away seeking treatment for educational and social challenges. how did you come to that decision? it had to be a really tough one. >> it was not even really a choice. it was on the advice of his doctors. it had to happen. >> how's he doing? >> he's plodding along and we are too. this is the best thing i can do for him right now so that comforts me. >> there are reports that colin you and child services reportedly opened an investiga

, take money from your kid's school to help poor kids? >> that's exactly right. so it's been a political fight, but i would say overall, charters have really exploded in growth largely because parents are demanding it. you mentioned the charter wait list in intro. in new york, there are 44,000 people on wait lists. in los angeles over 100,000. so with wait lists like that, it's hard to imagine that this is a snowball that they're going to be able to stop rolling. john: but they did stop it in massachusetts, and don't the unions have a point? if there's a pot of money and some goes to the charter school, the public school has less. well, they're all public schools. the government school has less. >> that's true, but not in this case. there was -- in the way the legislation was written in massachusetts, there was funding that would go to schools that lost students who then moved to a charter school. so the argument that it was going to take money away from wealthier schools was false, it was false advertising. john: but it won. >> you would

she can see anything. >> it's legal to monitor your kids, but a controversy lurks. do teens deserve privacy or secretly monitoring for safety's sake more important? >> at 11 and 13, we should know what's going on in your life. >> what's the problem with letting your parents see your phones when they ask? >> i just want privacy. >> reporter: last summer, christine says isabella secretly became more secretive. >> reporter: so christine downloads spy software on both kids' phones. were you torn? >> nope. >> you were not? >> not one bit. my kids, i needed to protect them. >> reporter: experts say secret monitoring may hurt your children and your relationship with them in the long run. julie haims is the author of "how to raise an adult." >> 24/7 surveillance of your kids, everywhere about every decision, every moment is effectively saying, i do not trust you in the slite them you trust them when you spy on them? >> wow. i hope they just know that i do trust them, and that i'm doing this just to protect them. >> reporter: using the app, she discovers isabella is texting

if a kid eats eight, 10, or 12 raisins, that's ok. does a kid eat eight or 10 raisins? no, they eat a box of them, 30 or 40, and it is concentrated sugar. anyway, all i can tell you is they have been trying to get in on the program for a long time. i hope we can get out and keep it fresh fruits and vegetables. that is just how they tried to get in on some of these things. then we started the farm to school program under tom vilsack, great secretary of agriculture. in 2013 and 2014, school districts nationwide purchased over 800 million dollars from local farmers and fishermen, and this was 105% over what they had done the year before. let me mention a couple of other things, and i will close, both good and bad. good, soda taxes. maybe we're finally going to get soda taxes. i know berkeley, california, had done this before, if i'm not mistaken. now, this year, it is on the ballot in several places, and in june, the philadelphia city council passed a soda tax -- $.15 per ounce on their sodas. it goes into effect on the first of january -- wouldn't you know it, the beverag

it's called seek kid to kid. and what she's done is she has, because of the confusion because people didn't understand the different, they started an organization at their school where the kids talk to their teachers about what does it mean to be seek, how is that different from being indue and muslim. and they created a whole program around it. and they talk to students and student groups. as your children get older, there are opportunities for them to own their own narrative, right? we raise them while they're young to be proud of who they are. and then you see that. seeing this 16-year-old girl start this organization to increase cultural competency, i'm sure you've met her, it was quite inspiring. and i hope -- maybe there are similar efforts by young muslim students in public schools as well. i want to share there are things you can do as a parent, there are resources that can come to your school for teachers and administrators and then encouraging our high school kids to shape their own narratives as well.

the kids or the parents?" "the kids. the kids." "our generation always grew up, like, having these devices." these self-proclaimed "experts" laugh at strategies their parents put in place to block them from some online content. "you all have ways of figuring out your parents' passwords. passwords, i put my thumbprint on it."

middle-class black kids are typically not going -- they are in schools with white kids. it is the poorest most vulnerable kids being segregated. i thought that was important because it talked about the failures of the civil rights movement. the black elite at that point thought they were going to broker -- they understood a judge would release the district from a court order. as soon as it did, the district could do what they wanted to anyway. they figured if they try to negotiate terms, they could get something out of it for the black community which they thought would be economic development. unfortunately, it did not work out that way. they did not get the economic development. they made the decision and still do not get it. a lot of people in the community believed the black elite sold them out but they could never prove it. i was able to finally get on the record the black judge in the town who basically signed a deal to admit he did it. prof. gessen: one of the difficulties of the stories you are telling is the fact that white people have gotten much better at bein

we know kids of color, particularly african-american kids and latino kids suffer diabetes more than their counterparts and they are getting intensive exposure for the wrong stuff. healthy eating research expert team looked at this data, a lot of it came from the center. 84% of food and drink advertised to kids on spanish tvs, and adsk kids see twice as many for sugary drinks. we can see who is being targeted. the other thing is that we have a digital divide in this country. what that means is that there are homes that do not have as many computers or do not have do not haveess or broadband access. and that is a problem when you are doing your homework as a kid but most everybody these days has a mobile device. you don't want to do your homework on a mobile device but companies are very happy to target you with advertising on your mobile device and we see kids of color spend more time than their white counterparts with that sort of media as well. which poses another problem exacerbated things. i want to show you what this looks like. as we are having this discussion later today about what
