There is a sad state of affairs
And it concerns our children
That the quiet ones get forgotten
These kids get left in the cracks
The noisy ones get noticed
The noisy ones get help
The noisy ones, squeak the wheel
Their problems in our faces.
The quite ones get left behind
Their problems no one places.
And nobody percieves to mind
These lost and lonesome cases.
How do we help these children
That we can barely find?
How do we help these children
Caught up in their own big binds?
You see in edcuation
There is a little noticed fact
That if you are quiet and lack in making trouble
You slip down through the gaps.
Yet this unofficial loophole
Is devastating to these kids
And it is our responsiblity
To raise the bar and lift the lid.
We need to notice the children
So we can help them through
The tough problems that life throws at them
And lift their hearts and souls and brains
To help them cope with being maimed.

Far too true, and a sad state of affairs. Here in Canada they’ve remove educational support programs for gifted students to put more money into programs for students with ‘special needs’; I don’t debate that special needs children need support but the gifted ones should have resources as well to help them fulfill their destinies (they will, after all, most probably be the leaders of our country in the future).

How far could our gifted students go with money and resourcing!

I actually had a member of our Board of Education say to me, “They’re gifted, right? They’ll manage.” I couldn’t believe it.
