No Kid Left Behind?


the motto use to be no kid left behind.

so you tell me one thing is it me or are they blind.

30 kids one teacher now who can do the math.

everybody need assistance but he can barely help half.

leaving questions pillling up as their intrest begin to fade.

but teachers always say you earn every grade.

how is it im to blame for not being the one you choose.

why the ones who lost can never get some clues.

always being told to try it on your own.

only seeking guideance but instead your left alone.

to afraid to admit when you dont understand.

but when they break their fear they seek for help again.

but in return you  behave as if we're nothing but a pest.

which only makes us wanna give up on all success.

to busy trying to teach so never time to listen.

so you never seen the bigger picture you were missing.

while you were trying to make a point you lost a bigger issue.

those little girls and boys that could never catch you.

so now they left as nothing more than a statistic.

so tell me mr.teacher is this what you predicted.
