A: Children can not attend school in the US on B-1 visas. You can apply for F-1 student status for them.

A: Probably nothing, at least as far as their going to school while in the US on a B1 visa. There are other issues to consider. First of all, it will likely be years before a visa is even available for you and your children. If you have not done so, you should consult with an immigration attorney.
