This is for the average kids


Hey Teacher, it's me, the student you don't know

sits in this seat

literally under your nose, 

who would have known?

that out three hundred plus students,

one gets by,

unrecognized, unattached.

I turn in all my work,

pass the occasional test,

too bad I'm just average,

and neither excelling nor failing 

like the rest.

If you have an F,

you have services available 

if you have an A,

there are rewards available

for the kid with the C,

they get nothing relatable.

Neither encourage to improve,

or warned not to get worse.

Average kids, get no attention,

because there is none left,

this is the curse.

We have a remedial and a honors program

but what the kids who just do the task at hand?

And nothing more and nothing less,

unforunately you're just average and get no concern,

no attention, like the rest.
