The article actually shows:

➡️One family’s struggle getting evaluated for a learning disability by their school district (a real issue!)
➡️ That family is now on the waitlist because their income is *higher* than other families prioritized for Texas Education Freedom Accounts

[Travis Pillow @travispillow]

Facts breaking brains of school choice critics:

1. A record shattering than 274,000 students applied for Texas Education Freedom Acccounts

2. 1 in 4 awarded students has a documented disability

3. 4 in 5 awarded students have incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level

Thought today was another really good Scottie Scheffler presser but particularly this answer when talking about dealing with the pressure of the career Grand Slam.

"It's kind of a funny thing. It's like, yeah, if I win this tournament, that would be amazing, but I think then I show up the next week, and it's like, okay, now Scottie's won the grand slam, he's won all these golf tournaments. Now where do we go from here?

So no matter what, I think as a player and as a professional athlete, you're never going to live up to the expectations of people. I think sometimes that's a little bit of the fallacy in our sport is like, if I win the U.S. Open, then I'm going to be satisfied. I've won all the tournaments, and my career is essentially over, and I've accomplished everything I could want to accomplish. But I think the goal posts are always just moved further and further.

"For me, would it be a dream to win the U.S. Open? Of course. But at the end of the day, like I -- the grand slam has never been a motivating factor for me. I always just wanted to be the best version of myself, and that got me this far."

Wise words

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

The highest performers don’t waste energy on things they can’t control.

They focus on two things: their effort and their attitude.

When adversity hits, don’t look for a shortcut back. Just keep chipping away. One play. One response. One step at a time.

After I sent this letter last Friday — and after we and many others, including from the Texas OAG’s office, made calls to Nebraska officials over the past week — we have learned tonight that after fleeing to Nebraska from Texas immediately after he was released from a short stay in County Jail, the State of Nebraska will rightfully require admitted child-abuser Adam Hoffman to register as a sex offender. His license to practice law there is also likely to be suspended.

Well done, Nebraska!

Tom Brady reveals the overlooked reason practice squad players never succeed in the NFL

It’s not a lack of talent.

Brady watched it happen for 20 years. The pattern was undeniable.

As soon as a practice squad player got promoted and had to perform under real pressure, they crumbled. It took years for Brady to understand why.

“There’s 53 guys on the active roster and there’s now 15 guys on the practice squad. So there’s 68 players. But those practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad.”

“These scout team receivers would come in and practice with the scout team and they do really well. And I’d be watching. I’m like, ‘Man, we got to get that guy. Let’s get him up on offense. He’s making a lot of plays.’”

“Then all of a sudden, we’re like, ‘Hey man, you’re doing really well. You got to come over here and deal with the pressure of succeeding now that you have expectation.’”

“And these guys are like, they weren’t prepared for it. So whatever we saw in practice against where there was not a lot of pressure, now when they’re put in a situation where there’s an expectation for performance, they’ve never had to personally deal with that and then they fail.”

“And then what I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster.”

“They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends, which I have no problem with that. But the reality is a lot of guys don’t want the pressure of dealing with top.”

Twenty years in the league and seven Super Bowl rings later, Brady learned that talent wasn’t the hardest thing to find.

It was people who actually wanted the pressure that comes with being great.
