NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
THIS SHOULD MEAN SO MUCH MORE
I KNOW MY CONCERN IS SO MUCH SMALLER THAN MOST BUT
IT MAKES ME THINK EVEN MORE ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS

ANYWAY IT TURNS OUT MY SON HAS DYSLEXIA
WE TOOK HIM FOR THE PROPER TEST WITH TEACHERS
THAT KNOW-HOW TO DETERMINE DYSLEXIA.

NOT DOCTORS! THAT'S WHAT THE SCHOOLS WILL TELL YOU
AS FAR AS MOST SCHOOLS GO IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

SO YOU HAVE TO BRING THEM TO GET TESTED
TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY ARE DYSLEXIC AND THEN
YOU CAN GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND TRY TO GET HELP

LUCKILY THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WHERE MY SON GOES IS VERY GOOD
SO LAST YEAR HE HAD A GREAT TEACHER AND DID VERY WELL

THIS YEAR HIS NEW TEACHER IS PREGNANT SO SHE'S OUT OFTEN
WE SPOKE TO THE TEACHER ABOUT OUR CONCERNS AND SHE SAID
SHE HE WOULD GET THE HELP HE NEEDS

WELL NOT TO COMPLETELY DRAG THIS ON BUT NOW SHE'S
OUT PERMANENTLY AND MY SON BEEN HAVING TROUBLE

SO I GO UP TO THE SCHOOL TO EXPLAIN TO THE NEW TEACHER MY CONCERN
AFTER I EXPLAINED THAT MY SON HAS DYSLEXIA
SHE TELLS ME SHE HAD NO IDEA. THAT WAS NOT IN MY NOTES FROM
THE OTHER TEACHER

ANYWAY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL AT THIS POINT (BAD WORDS)

WHAT I AM TRYING TO SPIT OUT WITHOUT BEING TOO ANGRY IS
MY WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE DYSLEXIA AND WE REMEMBER
HOW HARD IT WAS IN SCHOOL WHEN WE WERE KIDS
WHEN THEY REALLY DIDN'T CARE

IT HURTS ME THAT IT'S BEEN ALMOST 40 YEARS SINCE I'VE GONE
TO SCHOOL AND THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED

WE CANT JUST KEEP ON GIVING OUR KIDS PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
TO MAKE IT BETTER

WE NEED TO RISE ABOVE THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
