For Tennessee’s “school choice” debate, let’s try an experiment: Pick Tennessee’s most elite private school and its most economically disadvantaged school - and switch the students for a year (or more). Is it the school or the economic/home life that makes the real difference?

Allen Pratt, Ed.D, column in today’s Sunday TENNESSEAN print edition: In states with universal vouchers, roughly 70% go to students [already] enrolled in private schools, and 60% go to families in districts with the highest incomes. https://t.co/Qk2Jt0Y8YM

State lawmakers should understand that their actions now & in the future will have large fiscal and harmful consequences for public education & student opportunities.

Michael Jordan said, "You have to be uncompromised in your level of commitment to whatever you are doing, or it can disappear as fast as it appeared...Excellence isn't a one-week or one-year ideal. It's a constant."

Excellence is not the goal, it's the standard.

You achieve excellence when your commitment and perseverance become routine.
• It's the standard you set.
• It's your daily mindset.
• It's the will to commit and compete.

6 Ways to Win 2024 with Excellence:
1. Be Unrelenting in Your Work Ethic - Create a relentless approach to your work and your goals. Put forth maximum effort and focus in everything you do. It's not just what you do, but how you do. By consistently pushing yourself, you'll continue to improve. This unwavering dedication is crucial in setting you apart and leading you towards success.

2. Commit to Greatness and Your Craft - You have to be committed and dedicated to your craft. It takes focus. This commitment to excellence and continuous learning ensures constant growth and expertise in your craft. Excellence is not the destination, it's the journey.

3. Always Learn and Look to Improve - Always be on the lookout for ways to better yourself, whether it's through learning new skills, seeking feedback, or challenging existing practices. This mindset of growth keeps you adaptable and flexible when you face new challenges.

4. Uphold Daily Consistency and Discipline - Establish and adhere to a regular routine that supports your goals. By practicing discipline in your daily habits, you create a foundation for consistent progress and achievement. This consistency is the bedrock of excellence, transforming ambitious goals into reality.

5. Choose Resilience and Grit - Resilience is a choice. Accept that there will be adversity and by embracing this adversity, you have the opportunity to learn and grow stronger. This power of resilience not only helps you overcome immediate obstacles but also builds your character, essential for long-term success and fulfillment.

6. Build the Vision then Prioritize - Build the vision of what you want, how you're going to get there, and then attack. This is important because it focuses you on what matters. It prioritizes what is important to help you manage your energy and attention every day. You wake up each day knowing the vision, where to concentrate, and how to get there.

"The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor." - Vince Lombardi
