A genius gets bored with school

Genius Child

by Pamusart

Her teacher could not be impressed,
with genius that the girl expressed.
She yawned out loud and then resumed.
No longer was she in the room.
 
Her mind was somewhere far away,
a place she'd rather be today.
Now free to fly just like a bird,
she left without a final word.
 
Society has lost this child.
This genius student's running wild.
She runs with winds through rainbow skies.
Her former self no longer cries.
 
The school has failed to feed her mind,
She's bored to death with work assigned.
No longer does she feel so tense,
she's mighty glad she jumped that fence.
 
Her spirits want to glide and soar,
a yearning quest to go explore.
Escaping to another world,
her confidence has been unfurled. 
 
The schools now think that they have won.
Their smartest student, they have shunned.
Because she's kicked her heels and run, 
they brand her as the crazy one.

Children who are geniuses often get bored with school as Albert Einstein and Ben Franklin did.

Both dropped out of school

Ben Franklin attended the same high school that my husband went to and he dropped out of school

Albert Einstein also dropped out of school

Something should be done to keep these students learning, even though their intelligence is far greater than the other kids in the school. They could be given special projects like I was when I was in school. They could get extra credit for those.

If they don't have a high school diploma, then they can't get into any college. It is sad. Maybe they still could with a GED
