Dining in Monaco
with three Brits
talk of ed
came up as we ate our pomme frites
Teacher said
his kid can't subtract
might not move on
it's just a fact.
Dad in car
says to son in the back
Let me hear your subtraction.
Intentional errors
Keeps teasing at bay
Son is learning it's not good to be smart.
Better to just be o.k.
Kids can't be themselves
Even across the pond
Teased for intelligence
Nearly not moving on.
Fear of bullying
outweighs
advancement.
