I do a fair share of my thinking while driving. That and a couple of my favorite podcasts mixed in with a little Kai Rysdahl/Marketplace and I'm unaware of the traffic mess I'm stuck in. So as I'm driving home in the dark now I was particularly struck by a quote I heard on air and this is it: We Cannot Go Back and Start Over, But We Can Begin Now, and Make a New Ending.
It resonated with me on a couple of levels and I Googled it's origin and went down that rabbit hole before realizing it doesn't matter who said it, as it simply is the truth. Sometimes we must rid ourselves of the past in order to build for the future. I share this with you in the hopes that maybe it can resonate with you.
Ok along those same lines I'm embedding a link to a program I highly recommend be watched by anyone who is intrigued with what the future will look like In-the-Age-of-AI should be a must watch. This
Frontline show was both captivating and worth sharing.
And just when you thought Sacramento is letting us down I share with you one of the most enlightened pieces of law coming into effect, AB1291. Californians for Consumer Privacy sponsored the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Ballot referendum signed by 629,000 Californians to qualify for the November 2018 ballot. After the initiative qualified, the California State Legislature passed groundbreaking consumer privacy legislation in June, which was signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown. The CCPA gives nearly 40 million people in California the strongest data privacy rights in the country starting January 2020.
Next week, I'd like to begin inserting a poll into my weekly newsletter. Each week I'll ask a question and report results the following week. Of course all responses will be anonymous.
Cheers,

Access to a quality education is the best way to ensure our students a bright, successful future. But one size does not fit all, and not every student wants to go to a traditional college. Even so, California schools often focus on sending kids to colleges and universities, with less emphasis on trades.
We have a skilled worker shortage in California, and we need to make sure that high school students have the opportunity to learn technical skills that can lead to well-paying jobs after they graduate. That's why Career Technical Education is so important.
To help meet this need, last session I was an author of AB 1111, which will help ensure students have access to quality technical courses that provide the training to work for companies requiring highly-skilled workers and $15 million in the budget to pay for it. And last month, I was pleased to recognize Dennis Johnson, a Fallbrook High School transportation technology teacher, who received the second-place Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence. We need more programs like Fallbrook High's skilled trades program...
