The topic of the article is about kids that are gifted but get overlooked because they are poor or because they are a minority. The title is “These Kids were geniuses-they were just too poor for anyone to discover them. This article is from The Washington Post.

Poor Gifted kids in Broward County, Fla.  get over looked  to be sent in to the gifted program because they aren’t tested due to their status and not having the means of affording it(being poor). Schools in Broward recently started testing kids in the second grade to be able to find gifted kids instead of testing them later on when they are likely to not show that they are gifted due to predicaments.  The results were very impressive and sad because it showed the schools that they were leaving behind gifted kids

I agree that no kid should be overlooked because of their status. I feel disgusted by knowing that kids get left behind due to their status of being poor. This event affects me because now I know that there are so many gifted kids being left behind and they can’t do anything about it. Other than that this doesn’t affect much but it’s still very upsetting kids get left behind. Nobody should be overlooked by anyone especially by  schools that don’t want to spend the money to test all their kids to be sent in to the gifted program.

This impacts the world tremendously because these means so many kids not only in Broward aren’t being put in gifted programs but all over the world because of their status.  This makes the world loose on so many kids that would have contributed to the world in a productive way. Instead the world has less kids that would have been successful in their careers. In addition, now that schools have started testing the kids that are poor they have see a bigger number of kids in the gifted programs. This impacts the world because they have gain some of the kids they have lost by overlooking them but that doesn’t make up for the ones they didn’t see because of they were poor.
