They'- I guess the SEC- 'are incapable of working through this themselves and are afraid of making mistakes in doing so.' Just is the SEC, do you think, just not prepared in any way to even understand crypto, let alone try to regulate it?ĪLEX MASHINSKY: No, I think they're pretty sophisticated, and the issue is really understanding who are the good actors, who are the bad actors, and then defining the rules to make sure that we enable innovation, enable this development of these new rails of finance, but at the same time protect consumers. He says, 'This is regulation via litigation. And so definitely an interesting story and interesting development.īRIAN SOZZI: Alex, Mark Cuban, longtime Bitcoin fan, tweeting this to what Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong had to say yesterday. Obviously all of us are looking for clarity, and it would be great to understand what is covered by the CFTC, what is covered by the SEC, what are the laws and regulations that we all need to follow. I actually want to start on this Coinbase story because I wonder if it's being interpreted as a sort of shot across the bow on the part of the SEC in terms of beginning to look at how it's going to regulate crypto, even though Coinbase says it doesn't quite get what the SEC's quibble is.ĪLEX MASHINSKY: Yeah, it's definitely a conundrum there as far as the SEC actions.

Start ensuring a two-way relationship by broadening the lens. So how can administrators, teachers, school staff, students, and families get to that place?

We don’t stay engaged in relationships that don’t allow us to contribute to them in meaningful ways. Relationships that are one-way are not productive for students, families, or ultimately, any school or organization. When our students and their families consider the connections they have with their school, what do they see?
