A Noticeable Nose Dive

Why is it that the education of all children,
Has taken a noticeable nose dive?
To leave them unable to compete,
On any level of achievement.

'Why is it that people decide to move away,
From those moving into their neighborhoods? '

To take with them what is believed others wish,
From them to get.
People like to feel comfortable.
With those they believe have similar interests.

'And what do you think that would be?
Their monopoly kept on intelligence? '
