Bri's Room (not done) (Free verse) by Sunshine Conkey

A little girl named Bri had an awful lot of stuff she saved and saved it but it wasn't enough. She put it in a closet and stacked it on the floor But even when her room was filled She wanted more and more. One day while playing She wanted her special pen to draw her favorite doll. But after looking everywhere, she couldn't find them at all.

Just out of curiosity, how exactly do you plan to go about educating an individual past his/her intelligence level? If they don't understand a concept, would you just say, 'I guess you're simply not smart enough to grasp this, let's move on to something else?'

Incidentally, Ayn Rand never said anything like that. What she states is that each individual should strive to create the best he could to the best of his ability. "Over-education for the un-intelligent" necessarily places bounds on the limits which a person can achieve, and is therefore diametrically opposed to what Ayn Rand is stating.

P.S. And it's "intelligent", with two 'i's.
