What Become of the Gifted Kids of Africa?

Just wondering how many of Lori Ann Madison of South Sudan and Africa go unnoticed and unexploited year in, year out? Lori Ann is only 6-years old and yet no school is willing to admit/accept her because she is so bright that she wouldn’t fit into any of their systems.

Solution? Homeschooling; because, luckily, her mom is a University professor while dad is an attorney/lawyer. She is already qualified as “the youngest person ever to qualify for the National Spelling Bee ” competition meant for 8-15 years kids.

How many of Africans’ Lori Ann are languishing in abject poverty and illiteracy just because they happened to be/have been born “there”?

With good upbringing and fostering, imagine how much better off humanity would be because of one Lori Ann! Imagine how the world would have been better off if all the Lori Ann’s of the world would have had, or would have, the same chance as this particular one?

Not a big deal, says Charles Darwin, evolution will take care of it: it will increase the birth rate for Lori Ann’s so as to enhance the probability of one lucky Lori Ann for the sake of posterity!!
