No Child Left Behind Unless They Are Smart

In class, if you don't understand you always must raise your hand. The teacher will come over to assist, the government says "no child's hand must be missed. But in advanced classes, this concept is different. As the lessons get harder, students need more assistance. And if you say "I don't comprehend." The entire class stares at you, even your friends. You are one of the smart, or at least you were. You don't get one thing and the class goes bizzerk! And teacher doesn't explain where you're wrong. They ask you a confusing question, and then they're gone. And when you try to ask if the lesson can be reviewed, the entire class stares at you like you said something lewd. Teacher continues and pushes ahead, not caring if they leave you for dead. And so the children who are brilliant and smart, get left behind and a pain in their heart.
