now we have the kids further stigmatized where the kids who can afford it show up. it should be the opposite. it should be noted that the original proposal to improve the school meal guidelines asked for $10 billion. we got the equivalent of $0.06 a meal instead of $.10 a meal. the schools are being asked to do more with less. they should provide the funding that they need. we need to do away with the stigmatizing of the school children. >> that is an issue. you want to make sure that there are no lines crossed who is getting the free lunch and who is not. there are busy parents that are working and it would be great if parents could bring, make their lunch. but sometimes that just doesn't happen. >> do you think parents don't know? look at the photos at the top of the show? would you bring those foods into your household on a regular basis and feed that to your kids? >> no, but i don't think kids always know what is being served. i think they assume it's a healthy lunch. they just haven't taken the time to look at it. i encourage parents to look at it and find out

the kids agreeing with that kid, as the bystander said, become the perpetrators. the kids who don't like it or the target probably aren't going to be saying anything. so you watch the kids walk away and assess them. then if you hear as the kis are walking down the hall, she's such a b, you say, wait 1 second, i just heard you call me a b i'm coming at you with respect, i'm talking to you, i'm not yelling at you, i'm not doing this, i'm not doing that, i'm coming and telling you what i want for you and every kid in this school. are we clear? now go to your class. now, if the kid does that and he does it to you again, sure, write it up. but it has to be with the authority of you talking eye to eye with this kid with respect, with dignity. because it's not cool to just give it to the principal because the principal all day would be doing the write up and that frankly does not help the teacher's authority in that hall in that moment. they have to have the power, to have the authority at that moment you just called me a b i know you are 6 foot 4, i know you are mumblin

when i am dealing with kids in possession of naked pictures of other kids. what are they going to do when i cite them? i didn't have answers or ones i didn't think were a comfortable fit when kids had these problems and started with kids after they were already in trouble and grew out of that because there was so much need in the school on the prevention side too, so it really is -- if i can get to the next one, the next slide. so yeah it's a proactive and reactive approach so it started on the reactive side. i think law enforcement is good at reacting to things so started with a program with the at risk kids that were already violators and grew to a prevention tool in the schools that law enforcement can present and oftentimes there are great nonprofits that have amazing programs but for a law enforcement officer in uniform to present it and not serious enough but my kids are going to get that i worked at cartoon network today. that's serious. that's what my kids are hearing about tonight, but law enforcement has a serious tone so we created this program fo

i love working with kids in this capacity. so i'm not going to indulge a baseless ruler that i hope soon to be mayer-elect deblazio has also refused to indulge. i'm doing my job, and that article was intended to try to -- it's from the new york post, it was intended to try to create more voters for joe louis, and let me put that aside. we're agnostic about charter schools. we represent them. and we started several charter schools in new york city, one of which this year actually had 100% graduation rate. so this is not about competition between charters and traditional public schools. this is about being able to say that every single child should be able to dream his or her dream and achieve them. and that actually means giving kids the human resources, the engaged curriculum, the wrap around services that they need to actually meet that opportunity. and if cities like cincinnati can do it, frankly, cities like new york, same constitution as fell fill and pennsylvania, but created the investment in schools. why is philly not d

the statistics show that about a third of the kids are bullied and bully others. as one kid

it is with kids that have both parents and kids without the parents at home that it's happening. we need to embrace a full court program on this because the numbers tell us and dictate to us that we have to have this high level strong fierce collaboration to end bullying and to make sure it doesn't proceed into its worst stages. and so i want to just thank everyone for this collaboration, i know our human rights commission, theresa, is here, i know commissioner is here as well and all of the bay area to work together to utilize the resources that our justice department is offering. their guidance and leadership as well, and to note that it can happen to any group. if you've heard what we're trying to do here, i know other mayors across this bay area are trying to do, we're trying to unleash the talent and creativeness of all of our communities not to succumb to things that will suppress that talent and in order to do that, you've got to really erase these barriers that are created sometimes by our own ignorance and sometimes by what people think are playful things and yet they ar

>> i knew i needed kids to follow but i wanted them to be kids we could compare and a narrow profound way in what we were seeing these countries to their homes in the u.s.. essentially they switch places and come to the u.s., high school exchange program and leave the u.s.. it's groups like afs fsn rotary club and youth for understanding has set up those programs and i was able to find students on their way are getting ready to go to countries like finland which is the utopian model of education in korea which is the pressure cook or model and to poland which a metamorphosis of the country and transformation. i started out obviously, i thought it would a more interesting and i was desperate for characters. as i often unfortunately due i totally underestimated how insightful these kids would be. once you actually sit down and talk with kids you think you know what they are going to say and they don't say what you think they are going to say. they have these incredible insights into what they were seeing. the cool thing was not just in their schools within their homes , on the bus and i

>> we know kids are different. they remain extremely resilient and if you provide opportunities for healing, then kids do well. there is increase of depression and increases of school failure, increases on unemployment and long-term health disease. what we are learning now through scientific research, the long-term impact of abuse is really cancer, liver disease, heart disease has devastating impacts. those are impacts obviously on the child and family growing up. but then the society's impact. we as a country are trying to change our education system and child abuse is the root cause of many of these issues. >> you mention holidays and there is a lot of expectations around it. you see the ads and the toys and santa claus and everything that takes basically a hefty bank account for most people. there are other factors because poverty is not just at christmas or hanukkah. it's year around. that's where a parent starts to feel trapped and they don't know where to turn if they lose their job or their home? >> poverty

kids are driven developmentally by the desire to fit in, to belong, to be part of an affinity group. if we can capitalize on their desire to look out for their friends and give them some more tools and opportunities and support, they will begin to do what we need them to do to at least confront it in their own small cell of social influence and the compounding and leveraging of that begins to make change. so the question we have to ask ourselves, are we as adults willing it slow down enough to invite kids to sit down at the table with us and partner? do we have the courage to understand that inclusion takes time and we have have to work more diligently to i invite young people, particularly marginalized young people, to take part. >> you mentioned changing social norms and i would imagine, stacy, part of that is powerful role models and so i think that that's a lot about the work that you are doing with the san francisco giants. so can you talk a bit about how you see the san francisco giants as being those role models and playing an active role and being upstanders? >> part of it is
